Vicky looks cool!

Nice shots too!

One small note: if they overpainted the stripes on the fuselage, they would have overpainted the stripes on top of the wings too?

Exactly. Stripes or no stripes. There was a directive in late summer, as I recall, that ordered the invasion stripes to be removed from upper surfaces.

It's a good paint, regardless. :)

thanks !!! :)

in another skin, I did just that

this one would be how it would have looked soon after the stripes were applied, that would explain why the tail bands were painted over.
