Bag turned up today. Very nice quality.
I went for the smaller size. Perfect.
I have to say it feels right.

Greg, did you go for the large or small?Just received mine, will go take it flying this evening. Can't wait to have it stenciled and painted!

I got the large one and regulations sized one at same time I took them both to Greece , they were a talking point to a couple of the stewards and other airport staff which I thought was nice considering they encounter thousands on a daily basis and that was just with dice .. I must get round to stenciling &sewing the patches I have on it

They are fantastic bags and at £40 a bit of a bargain.

Do what you like Art. I plan to put a WW2 390th BG & 8th AF roundel with insignia and name tag from Korean war. I have zero idea if it was ever done but i like the colour combos and as long as i am happy, i'm gonna do it.
If some smartarse here or elsewhere wants to be critical because there is no photo proof, let them. They'd really need to get a life and a sense of perspective. There is a place when historical accuracy is desired and a place where a "fantasy" piece is ok too .
