I chose to model the 2 seater Mk 108 with 15 sqn "Black Panther" marking, the base kit is from Airfix Hawk 100, Decal is
courtesy of Fishbone Decal , they had released a very nice set of decal for this special marking in both 1/48 and 1/32 scale, although the decal was designed for the newer Hobbyboss kit, it does fit the Airfix kit nicely, only with a minimal trimming required on the checkers.
