What's the star on the bottom left? The image is too small for me to make out the details
As far as I know, Poland never used Mig-25. We had Mig-21s and MiG-23s and we still use Mig-29s, by we never had Foxbats. Being in Warsaw Pact didn't automatically give acess to all Soviet fighter planes.
According to Wikipedia, the MiG-25 was is/used by Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Belarus, India, Iraq, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Libya, Russia, Syria, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and the USSR. Maybe the map is an AH one?
So I had an idea for a Tibetan Air Force Roundel a few weeks ago. Only just now got around to making it. It was pretty simple and yet super complex. Initially I wanted to use the head of the Snow Lion... but I couldn't find a decent image of it face-on. So instead, I went with the taijitu found on the flag of Tibet.
I rather like it.

New additions to my Sparrow Avengers TL.
Roundels used by Visegrad Defence Pact military aircraft.
Standard version
Low visibility version
As in the case of OTL aircraft in the service of NATO having a NATO star somewhere around the nose area, each VDP aircraft carries this smaller roundel in addition to its specific national roundel.
The stylised castle comes from the central emblem of the Visegrad Union, the parent organisation of the VDP. The castle is simplified for the purposes of the VDP roundels, though.
(Sorry that the blank spaces of the roundels and white outer stripe of the first roundel aren't that easy to see due to the default skin backgrounds. Swith to a darker forum skin if you want to see them more clearly. Also, I'll be following these two up with two more, from a civilian variant. And I might make a remastered version of these, with some added backgrounds for improved colour contrast.)

Warning, this is just a test ! I want to have a preliminary look at how the roundels will look on a sideview of a roughly similar jet fighter.
The VDP ones are on the "cheeks". The ones on the tail are the national air force roundels of the Czech-Moravian-Silesian Republic.
Important disclaimer: This plane was not made by me, it's a fictional fighter designed by our Uruk. Speaking of which, I'm cooperating with him on designing some of the military jets for the post-war years of the timeline.
VDP roundel default look, without national roundels (standard and low-viz)
VDP roundel and Czech national roundel (standard and low-viz)
VDP roundel and Hungarian national roundel (standard and low-viz)

OK, guys... Any ideas on how to make a more interesting-looking roundel for ATL Poland ?
Here's a list of the OTL Polish roundels:
Before 1921
1921-1993
1993-present
Any better ideas than the use of the OTL checkerboard ? The checkerboard always felt a bit... Croatian to me. I'd like to see a Polish roundel that does justice to the colours, but uses a different shape pattern.
