HMMMM. Where the stripe ends on the bottom of the fuselage doesn't seem to be as important (to me), as where it falls in relationship to the wing L.E., (about 1/2 to 3/4" below), the "dash", and the relative widths of the three stripes. The black bottom stripe intersected the fuselage bottom on mine. I just ended mine wherever it fell while concentrating on the front end. I did the best compromise I could to make the overall scheme look as much like Ed's as I could. Yours SHOULD be closer to Ed's than mine because the fuselage shape was altered some to make it less "tall".

Good luck[8D]
