June 23, 2022Unfortunately in the most cases the printed decal elements for low brightness yellowish formation lights are too bright and have black outline lines (wrong🙁). Because of that about 4 years ago I mixed a very light yellowish gray mix and coatet with them a piece of spare decal sheet. Now I’m very satisfied with the result.43
