Default Glider Pilot Regt

Here is my glider pilot regiment shoulder title and wings ready to be framed.

I am pleased with them, but just to be sure before they go behind glass, are they good ?

Albert.

Hello, the titles are fine. Not too sure on the wings, so won't comment. Others will be along soon to give their view.

Sorry to be a pooper but I'm not 100% with the titles either. The letters look too small and those long trailing threads look like those found on 1970s/80s copies.
