Any Westland Whirlwind decals out there in 1/48?

I can't seem to find anything and the colour on the Trumpeter decals is bad, to say the least.  Is there some A/M out there or am I going hunting through the spares box?

AFAIK. No.

The Classic Airframes kits came with two options in each boxing IIRC,  so there spare codes 'out there' and then you just need to find the roundels,

I think this has the sizes.

 

Also, only two squadrons operated the Whirlwind,  and I think that makes finding accurate sized codes tricky, so I suggest  hunting for CA leftovers.

 

@brewerjerry may well know more.

Although several companies brought out decals in 1/72 for the Whirlwind none seem to have taken the step into 1/48 as mentioned although a potential solution for some of the markings could be to use the Montex Mask set and paint them yourself if you felt comfortable with that , here is a link to availability in Australia  -  https://www.bnamodelworld.com/model-planes-paint-masks-stencils-montex-mon-mm48394?zenid=ef1d047041a3c051aaacebb876d6a45d

 

I have the kit lying in my stash and had hoped for decals in due course but have resigned myself to using generic sheets whenever I get round to it.
