The D-11 has a bit of stretching on the spine that affects the Star and Bar. I'm trying to wrestle with it right now myself.

I reduced the height of the part of the star and bar that's above the bar by something like 33% to overcome the distortion effects. That's the point where the fuselage goes from being almost vertical to closer to horizontal. Getting the diagonal stripes to look straight was trickier, they zig zag all over the place on the bmp.

BTW what aircraft are you working on Cactus?

Very Nice...6thFS after 1stAGC regrouped.  :aok


Edit: the 1st ACG had B-25H's as well. Maybe you could do the whole lot  C47 and B25h?
If we only had the "A" pony we could get that in there also.
