Are the current RAF Lo-Vis roundels and markings the same as what was used on the V-Bomber/TSR2/and others with the anti flash white paint job ?  I'm going to paint my STOVL Canberra like the current Harriers are, grey, and I want to use lo-vis roundels and fin flashes.  Come to think of it, are there any 1/72 lo-vis markings I can get for a Canberra ?

No, the anti-flash roundels were three-colour, whereas the current lo-vis roundels are the two-colour ones (Type B I think they're called). Canberra PR.9s should have lo-vis markings - they were in service until a couple of years ago.
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

Thanks Alun, I'll dig out the Xtrakit PR.9 I've got and have a look, I know the Matchbox kit doesn't have them.
