Default Tail Markings or Art

I'm thinking of putting some art or markings on the tail of my RV8. Paintjob is just a little bland but I don't want to overwhelm it either. How about sharing some of your markings or art and offering suggestions for mine.

Hi Jerry,


This thread will give you a lot of nose/tail art to look at.

Looks like your scheme is based on the USAF Thunderbirds. What about a thunderbird on the tail?

Default circle of stars

I've been playing around with the number 8 in the circle of stars. Did one in photoshop and it looks pretty good. Also played with the T-Bird on the tail. Not sure about that yet.

One more idea.

The blue stars and bars tail paint of the Thunderbird founders, the Skyblazers.

Hey, it's a slow work day.
