"unless you have go go gadget eyes, a lot of the detail will be missed."

The design works both from afar and close up. The clearly distinct design will stand out during a fly past but when the crowds are seeing the aircraft taxi past or on a stand, the finer features of the design will be visible.

So in that way it achieves two things.

If the red was thicker, it would lose the clearly defined blue / white component
which is what will make it stand out at a distance.

The aircraft and the red lines give it some interesting detail up close
and a good representation of what the Red Arrows do, smoke and all.

It's growing on me. I'd like to see an aircraft in the sky with that tail.
