I needed some British squadron markings, since I can pretty much do the divisional markings myself, so I've gotten myself Archer's 1/35 and 1/72 sets in red, yellow and blue. It's a bit of a pricey solution as you can only use the smallest set of the 1/35 markings. The 1/72 set should be able to cover most smaller marking sets. The codes are AR35086 and AR72086 if anyone's interested.
Starmer's Armour do four sheets of squadron markings for AFVs sizes 6in up to 24in. in 3in increments, red, blue, yellow and white. Small numbers and HQ in those colours to go inside them if required. £5.00 per sheet, £1.00 postage.
Seems like kit decals come only in red or yellow...maybe no one cares about the junior regiments. So if you care to model the Irish Guards Mike's your man. Please post ordering info.
Sorry if I have caused any confusion, my mind was on the four sets of signs Mike was speaking about and I forgot to post this link that lists his decals.. again they are 1/76 AFAIK.
Well seems I started something here. I do not have a site nor can I attach images, but I am thinking on that last part. Here is a list:
