Take it easy.....these invasion strips were painted in a messy way very often.That's true that their width should have been of 18 inches but the real painting was slightly different.So I'll let it be.

Cheers - but just noticed one of the white stripes is too narrow. Aaaargh dammit dammit dammit. Well, looks okay on the top of the wing so I think I'll leave it and put it down to experience. I have been using rattly tins of white and black and unfortunately precision respraying is not an option. The carpet in our hallway is gradually turning "primer grey".
I can confirm that, most invasion stripes were painted on the night before the invasion, the go date not being known until a few hours before the actual event. it was a very hasty paint job with no thought to measuring accurately or masking.Take it easy.....these invasion strips were painted in a messy way very often.That's true that their width should have been of 18 inches but the real painting was slightly different.So I'll let it be.
Yep, good work, and great pic Wojtek. Very often, as it seems in Wojtek's pic, the paint used was 'emulsion' or a distemper type of paint, so that it could be removed relatively easily. There were some aircraft which appeared to be neatly painted, but the majority were as per the pic shown, where, close up, the hasty job was more apparent.
