Very nice but have a second look at the proportions of the star and bar. Something not quite right about the bars.

The bar need to extend inwards to meet the points of the star.


Thanks for pointing that out. This was an older profile and I hadn't fixed the insignia (until now). I probably should check some of my other ones!

The paint in obviously all wrong on that plane and they'll never get it correct. I'd be ashamed to appear in public like that. The pilot would be flying along looking at that wrong color spinner or the serial number which is in painted in 3/4 in letters instead of the correct 7/16 in ones. Next thing you know, the engine will start to sound rough, and the prop blade arc will get wobbly. The pilot will be so shaken, even if he gets down safely he'll lose his nerve and probably go buy a T-28 or an L-39. As a matter of fact they should probably just park and abandon the plane somewhere.

Please let me know the location where it will be abandoned.
