Corgi VULCAN decals

Can anyone tell me if the faded looking RAF symbols (they look as though they have been faded in the sun) on the CORGI VULCAN in anti flash white scheme are right. and if so why did they have this appearance, cheers

Pale roundels were on the bombers as part of the white anti-radiation scheme.
Dark surfaces absorbs heat…not a good thing when delivering a nuclear weapon.

The same reasoning was why some US bombers didn’t have markings on the the white areas of wings and fuselages.
