Looking for info on two Spitfire XIVs. First is Harold Walmsley's MN-N from April 1945 and John Sheperd's XIV EB-E also from April 1945. Would like to know the size of the squadron codes and colors. Finally does anyone know who makes RAF squadron codes in this size and color for 1/48th scale? Thanks.

Could be 24", but check your photos; Spitfires, due to the shortage of space between the bottom of the (opened) canopy, and top of the wingroot fairing, were permitted to use 20".
