Is there a source for the decals (Flying Tigers Shark teeth or something similar), which could be used on an RV-8?
Grady did an excellent paint job a few years ago, but I never thought I'd want those teeth. However, two young boys with fascination towards war birds is making me reconsider that.
Easiest way to try something out will be decals, hence the question. Any leads will be appreciated.
Decades ago I put teeth on our Explorer Post's Yankee. Used colored electrical tape cut, trimmed and overlapped to look real good at about 3' away. It stuck on just fine at Grumman speeds but the Scout leaders made me remove it after a few months. Paint underneath still the same shade of banana yellow. Wish I had some photos......
If you can find someone who is good with Photoshop you can try out anything you want. A graphic artist working for me did this with my Navion.
With some guidance from him I used PS for my current paint scheme - PS and actual

I dont have a template but happy to help where I can. I certainly love the teeth on mine:
