Looks good Alex. The color photos are from your neck of the woods, a post war recreation, and the decals match. Dragon is green/green/gray, background red, highlights red. |

Nope, Collings Foundation, and numerous decal companies have botched this, as, at the time, there were no known color photos of 'Dragon And His Tail'. They have since surfaced, and now we know the Dragon's color. Contemporary, as in WWII-era, color pics show Dragon and His Tail to be red.

REAL 'Dragon And His Tail'
There are better contemporary shots in higher resolution of this bird in color, during or shortly after WWII, but you get the idea.
Cheers,
