Exclamation 1:48 Naval Hex

This is what I got from the color swatches.
Texture can be added later if you desire.

What do you think of the colors?

So, watching this entire thread with great interest, is one to get the impression that there are currently no available decals on the market that represent this 5 degree slanted printed pattern? Or, are all the ones that have been produced in the past (A-G, Pegasus, etc.) just representative of only the straight handpainted pattern?

Inquiring minds want to know.....

No Slant

I am not aware of any decals commercially produced with the five degree slant. Or with the proper colors for that matter!

Question Night fabric samples

Are there any samples of night bomber fabric that we can post as a springboard for that portion of this research? I'm not sure how to tell what is correct or even close otherwise.
