Yellow Wing Decals 1/48 1" Black and White Pinstripes

By Chris Banyai-Riepl

Quoting from the instructions, "the Bureau of Aeronautics (BuAer) the governing body for the U.S. Navy at the time issued a set of standards or directives as to which pin stripes, black or white, would be used to separate similar colors. In part it reads: 'All 1" pin stripes shall be black or white depending upon the color of the background upon which they are to be applied. The color shall be one of the greatest contrast in order to give the highest visibility. WHITE shall be used on RED, BLUE, and BLACK. BLACK shall be used on WHITE, GREEN, YELLOW, GRAY and ALUMINUM.'"

This deftly sums up the usage of these pinstripes, but in reality the implementation was spotty at best. You will definitely need to check references to see if the specific plane you are modeling had the pinstriping or not. The decals are pretty simple, though, being thin strips of black and white. These will make a nice accessory to the other Yellow Wing decal sheets.
