I was looking through a few referance sorces on the Canberra and thought it
would be nice to make a model in Indian markings, I have several other
aircraft I would also like to finish as Indian aircraft, such as the radar
equiped Jaguar.
Does anyone know of a source of marking that would alow Me to model such
aircraft.......... I am also thinking of finishing a TSR2 in Indian markings
which is a reasonable idea as it was to replace Canberras

Thanks in advance

The new Xtradecal Hawker Hunter sheet has Indian roundels and fin flashes.
From what I have seen of Indian Canberras, their roundels were smaller than
the equivalent RAF ones, so the Hunter roundels may well be suitable.

The roundels on the Jaguars were considerably smaller than those on the
Hunter. They may well have been similar in size to the ones used on the
MiG-21, in which case Albatros Decals 72012 and 72013 may provide something
suitable.

I have the Hunter sheet and very nice it is too! I'm looking forward to
building the Singaporean Hunter in USAF SEA camouflage with British colours
substituted.

I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

That is all well and good, but it does not help with Squadron badges or
other similar marking, I will also want to use the Extralecal Hunter
markings for Hunters, yet another great British aircraft.
