Thank you again for the continued support of our Korean War group. This one looks right at home in the headlines section. You have done a magnificent job with it. I read the build journal again from start to finish. One thing that stood out was the markings on the wings. I decided to do a little digging... and I have found pictures of aircraft that were stored on display in several museums in China and other places throughout the world. These are just some of the pictures I found, and they show what I'm talking about.

1. Marking on top side of wing
These planes had markings as you have done yours, plus they had markings in all 4 wing positions, top and bottom sides of the wings, right and left sides. Some aircraft had no wing markings at all.
In the end, as you have painted yours is good to go. Personally I wouldn't change a thing. It's perfect and your best build to date.
Since some of these aircraft were on display in China, I would think it would be correct for all examples, and since they operated the planes, they should know.
