| That looks fine to me, but. What do I know? That isn't a decal, it looks like a hand made star. Is it? |

| Johnny O. From the majority of reference photos I've seen on a I-16, total red star; be it for winter schme or normal military markings. Scale seems right. Looking good..... |

| SW...This star is a hand colored B+W from a laser printer. Seems like the solid red star this size is the winner! |

| Moose...My Rat reference books shows at least 5 different military stars. Solid red is a go printed on white decal paper. The white of the paper will prevent the camo from bleeding thru...I hope. I can only get one wing star to fit on one sheet of paper...just order more from Micro-mark! |

| http://www.decalpaper.com/ John, I just got 24 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 decal paper for $17.00 + shipping from these people. It's a lot cheaper than Micro Mark. I got the assorted, 12 clear, and 12 white. Actually,I got 25 sheets. That star looks great. |

| Guys... how are your results with these ink jet decals? I tried a kit from Testors, and the results were pretty poor, mostly in trying to get the decal off and usable in one piece. |

| Decal sheets from Micromark I have found to be the best. Just light regulare decals. They slide easy. On the rat the decals on the lower wing were fine, color wise. Due to the camo on the upper wing I painted over them to hide the camo. I then painted the stars on the lower wing to match. Had the Rat been a solid color, the original decals would have been fine. I use an Epson printer. Brother laser for B+W. |
