Size of national markings on Erla built Bf109G-10's

Does anyone know the size of the balkenkreuze used on the Erla built Bf109G-10's? Some early examples has the standard size but somewhere in the 490xxx range it was changed to a smaller version, both on the wings and the fuselage. I'd say around 800mm for the fuselage but that's only a rough estimate and I'd would like to get a little more precise.

Thanks in advance

Here is a small selection with 490 137, 152 033 and some unknown. There appears to be some variation in size:

The later W. Nr.'s crosses appear to be smaller in dimension.

An unusual under wing filled-in cross:

Hi, Yes I know, that's why I asked.

The early ones are standard dimension that I know the size of, it's the late ones I'm after.

The photos of White 14 has fake markings added by a creative photoshop artist, they're the wrong type for the undersurfaces though. By the time those photos were taken the aircraft had had it's german national markings painted out by the Swedes.

CheerS! / Anders
