What size are these white-edged roundels for the Hawk and are they available in 1:144 scale?

I'm looking to find a set of decals to the size and design of the one on this Hawk below. Does anyone here know of an existing 1:144 scale kit that has these decals, with the white outer band, or a decal producer that has them to this size? I'm not sure if the wing roundels are the same size and would be grateful for confirmation of that as well please.

Evening Mike,

one suggestion I can make is to get hold of some white backing 'patches', though the size of the surround is up to you.

One place that does 'em is Fantasy Printshop, down in Bodmin, as they print for a lot of the 'small' manufacturers, they may be worth a ring?

 

Underwing Roundels seem to me to be larger, but still with the white surround, see here:- https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8209/8198433021_7a6780bd54_b.jpg

Variation on a (fuselage) theme:- https://www.flickr.com/photos/emdjt42/5178785535

White surround to upper wing roundels as well:- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u207/grumpymax/Valley263a.jpg

 

HTH?

Hi Paul,

 

Thanks for the suggestion although I already have some white round decals in various sizes, they are produced by Shed Models, but I'm still not sure as to the size of the roundels yet.  I suspect that the fuselage roundel is 16 or 18 inches and even then I don't know whether that includes the white outer or not.  I may have to get a sheet of Shed's RAF Decals and go with a visual look but am concerned that, as soon as I've applied them, someone will tell me they are wrong.  It's a larf!

 

Edit: forgot to mention why I would get the RAF roundels from Shed Models; their kits and decals are for 1:200 scale aircraft so, if I can find what the size is for a 1:144 roundel, then a 1:200 roundel should fit inside the white backing decal.  Simples? :banghead:
