Motley,

Look at where "Silver Streak" starts in relation to the blue and white nose checks in the photo below  It's almost up against them.  Also I'd suggest double checking the size of the fuselage star and bar as well as the codes.  My first impression was they are just a bit too small.  Nice to see a 364th bird getting done  :)

Another photo of "Silver Streak" off the Little Friends website.  Clearly an earlier photo as it has the remnants of the fuselage D-Day stripes, full serial and grayed out star and bar on the fuselage.

Might allow you to add some more detail with those bits.

The stars are bars are the same size as the default skin, so I'll have to look at the photos more closely. I'll re-sketch or stretch the nose art and try the invasion stripes next.
