Re: D-Day. A very British Tiger
I’m asking your views on whether you think the blue for A squadron is too dull. It is barely visible in the house, but out side it is slightly more noticeable. I’m wondering whether to paint it out and put a white coat on first?
The photo was taken outside, in natural, but dull daylight.

Re: D-Day. A very British Tiger
I'd be happy with that colour. It stands out nicely, but not in an electric blue way. A good muted tone.

Re: D-Day. A very British Tiger
In that picture, to me, I think it is perfect. If it changes in various lighting, I would lean toward subtle rather than bold anyway.
On a side, how the heck did you do that? Crisp straight lines of a decal, but clearly looks like paint?!? Nice work!

I also agree with Mike and Eric, it looks good. I wouldn't mess with it more, I'd be happy with that there.

Re: D-Day. A very British Tiger
Good grief those look amazing! I guess I don't quite understand how these stencils work. I've used cardboard/paper/tape to make stencils in the past but nothing came out so crisp as these.
Anyway great work, my new standard of what markings should look like.

Re: D-Day. A very British Tiger
I have been telling people for years that RADs Stencils are outstanding the only thing better is the price and the service
I think I am about to upset someone

Re: D-Day. A very British Tiger
I have all sizes and kinds of U.S. star decals, but just a day or two ago, I contacted Rad about making me an assortment. You can't beat 'em!
