Can someone tell me if on my recent post if my insignias look realistic enough?

    I would shorten the "bar" on the USAF insignia by about 30% (make it 70% of the current length). Also, when you use them, take note that USAF airplanes only wear the insignia on one wing per side, the left one, looking down or up. Counterbalance any yawing by placing one on top side and one on bottom. They'll be on opposite wings and should counter each other, like this: Waco Combat Glider. Point of star faces forward. Some airplanes, though, like the F-22 and F-15, wear them slightly slanted refer to a good pic when deciding how to place them. Many USAF airplanes have a "USAF" on the opposite (right) wing, which is another way of countering any yawing tendency. Also, many different coloring over the years, from colored to subdued, red white and blue to grey and even greens!

    RAF insignia goes on both wings, top and bottom. Many more modern types have subdued red and blues, with no white present.
