Looking for info on RAF P-47Ds

Book arrived yesterday. Quick scan through and apparently the height of the Squadron code letters varied by Squadron. Some used 18 inch, some 24 inch and one Squadron used 27 inch letters. 16 Inch SEAC Roundels, tail markings were 16 x 24 inch, serial numbers look to be the standard 8 inch type throughout the types RAF service. Now to just pick a Squadron and Serial. I quite like the Red and White checked cowl ring of 258 Squadron but they didn’t wear those for very long and my arithmetic is terrible so working out the pattern and sizes to make those masks is beyond me. So its likely going to be the standard Brown/Green over Grey with White Theatre stripes (28 inch wide on wing upper and lower surfaces and 18 inches wide on the tail surfaces for anyone else considering a camo SEAC Thunderbolt).
