Can any one tell me what size the air recognition flags on US armour during OIF? and what size these would be in 1/35 scale?

This took me a lot of searching so I hope I'm right....
-Flag is 18 inches by 12 inches
-in 1/35 that is 0,514 inches by 0,342 inches
-or in the metric system 13,06 mm by 8,71 mm
Hope this helps and that I'm right... Maybe our colleages "on duty" can confirm this...

I happened to still have a VS-17 panel from my Light fighter (7 Infantry Division) days. And which I've been able to locate. The VS-17Panel (Aircraft recognition panel) measures: 24 inches (609mm) x 72 inches (1828mm) 1/35 scale would be 0.68 inches (17.4mm) x 2.06 inches (52.3mm). One side is Bright International Orange the reverse side is fluorescent (hot) pink. On each end has 2 tie straps and 3 snaps, and the middle has just the 2 tie straps. Also when folded up, you reverse one end of the Hot Pink side and expose an Olive Green (Forest Green) pouch. I'vee got a converted photoreduced to 1/35 with the data included if you would like it let me know.
