Are the diamond shapes on the aft fuselage indented?

Love the color!  Good luck at Worlds - Ken

I thought it looked like some Windy influence. 👍🏼

Looks great Len.

Wonder who helped you pick out the colors. 🤣

Ya Paul, there is lots of Windy influence in this plane.  Not only did Naomi help pick the colours, she helped mix them too.

Do they have any aerodynamic effect?  I can see them as giving some yaw and pitch stabilization by adding some well-placed drag.  Or not.
Curious, I am thinking of adding them to Endgame IV.
