The plus sides are there’s a nearly identical example in the flying tigers museum displayed. There are some subtle differences but they’re very close. The paint does not glow in any way shape or form. Yes I know there’s many reasons that could be for that but the paint in my opinion feels it has some sort of age to it. It was displayed in front of many my painted A-2 jackets for some time but I’m downsizing some stuff. Please view photos and make your own decisions.
