Wellington roundel sizes?

[rossm]

I've a Matchbox Wellington which I've sold to another BMer with a promise that I would make up the decals from spares (some joker must have sold it to me without decals). I've got the decals to do it but I cannot find out the right sizes for them. I'm aiming to do option 3 as it's the only one possible from spares.

Presumably 54inch C1 fuselage roundels and 48 inch codes, 8inch serials but 24inch or 36inch fin flash and what size upperwing roundels?

Thanks for any help,

Ross

63" upper wing roundel. Source: Modeldecal instruction sheet. From a quick peruse of the relevant Warpaint, I'd say 36" fuselage roundels (about the same depth as the beam window) and 24" fin flash.

Thanks for pointing me to the Warpaint, I'd forgotten I'd got it. I agree with you about codes, fuselage roundels and fin flashes but I've searched my Modeldecals and can't find that reference, nor is the Wellington referenced on the Xtradecal Type B roundel sheet. I'll happily go with 63 inch but if you can set my mind at rest over the reference that would be great,

Thanks again,

63" is given on Sheet 102 as the size for A1 roundels on Wellington upper wings. Most (though not all) types used the same size when the Type B replaced it (eg Blenheim, Hampden, Hurricane, Lysander, Spitfire, Stirling, Sunderland) so it seems a fairly safe bet, but apologies for not making the extrapolation clear. (Actually I think I may just have read the wrong row in my spreadsheet!),

63 inch here as well.

Ahhhh, at least I wasn't going mad when I couldn't find it on my Type B sheet instructions. Thank you and thanks also to Jonathan.
