Wyvern S4 "Operation Musketeer" stripes

[AZKevin]

Hello Everyone,

I hope all had a Good Christmas, Hanukkah, etc.

 

I am building the old Frog 1/72 Westland Wyvern S4 for an older gentleman as a favor. He claims to be running out of time to build all of his stash and so has asked memebers of our local IPMS Chapter (Ernest A. Love) in Prescott AZ to all build one or two of his kits for him.

 

I doubt very much that the decals in the kit will be usable and while I think all of the British roundels and other markings can be sourced from my spares I was wondering - Does anyone know how wide the Yellow and Black Operation Musketeer (Suez Crisis) stripes were?

 

The Frog kit does not contain decals for these stripes, but I want to paint the model in that scheme.

 

Any info would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Kevin

A quick Google image search for Operation Musketeer turned up several pictures of Wyverns in this scheme. They may help you scale it out.
