Just like US warships, I have simulated a shadow in the paintwork of the 
numbers and names... They aren't embossed or countersunk, but flat. The 
"shadow" is always below and to the right of the white text.

If the text were standing proud of the surface, the 08's shadow ought to be 
to the left of the number, while the 04's is right...
