Question on the concept X-wing

Guys I was wondering if anyone has information on the wing markings, such as red leader-red 12? You know the red colored striped marks. Im finishing up my concept X scratch build and before painting I want a good plan for the wings. Im pretty confidant with the marks of grey and orange/red on the forward fuselage but I cant find a good pic of the tops of the wings. Anyone have any info?

thanks (yea im watchin Football too right now!)

Ive got my base coat down. Later this week I'll be adding the grey and orange markings. Still not sure what to do with the marks for the tops and bottoms of the wings.

I just checked the "Art Of" book and the painting showing the bottom doesn't have any markings.
Those where more than likely added by the modelers so you could tell them apart on screen.
 
Finished! Except for an astromech. Model is about 12 inches long so about 1/43rd scale? But hope you guys like. I'm ready to build a kit next and take a break from scratch building.

Great job!

With that paintjob in blue, you would have the first with an X-wing for the new movie:
