I concur.
Bit if you must .. neither. First one is too much going down the sides, and second is too small

1st one's too large, second ones too small.
Sizing's important for me before I can really grasp if I like it or not (and then which bird looks best).

I wanted to fit it to the hood, just like the classic ones. I have one blank hood already, sold my T/A hood, and have another one i want to put the bird on.

I dont want to be cheap when it comes to this bird.
My airbrusher is doing it instead of getting a vinyl sticker.
