Thank you, Lady and Gentlemen.
What brand of decal did you use for the lozenge? The weave(?) seems very wide/large.
It is Wood and Wire decals. The weave pattern indeed seems overdone but it is mostly the flash macro photography effect. In the reality it seems much better, IMHO more than acceptable. Try watching the photos diminished to the real dimensions of the model. The effect gets moderated.
When I have the propeller I will take better photos, using the proper photo camera, without flash and with better field-depth. It should show the model as it really is.
