Hello Doug Baumann,
I just need to see them side by side.
It appears that you have relocated the color locations on #6.
Color wise, they both look good to me. Perhaps if you corrected the color location on Test #3, assuming #6 is the corrected pattern, then we could have a look. I like both. #6 looks like commercial representations I have seen. I like the bright colors and overlapping borders of #3, it can always be weathered or muted to suit one's desire. I believe that it would make the best foundation to start with on modeling applications.
Best Wishes, FOKKERJ
