I'm having a terrible time trying to find decals of white stars inside a broken circle for an early Sherman I'm trying to finish. I found some at Roll Models but shipping is nearly $10 for something that will require less than 50 cents for postage. Does anyone have extras they're willing to sell to me at a reasonable price? I just need two large ones for the sides of the turret and a smaller one for the top of the turret.
Just to be clear, I don't need the ones with an unbroken circle around the star. I'm looking for the ones with five gaps (one at each tip of the star). Thanks.

Archer has them, if you don't mind dry transfers.

From what I understand the gaps in the circle are from the tape they used to tape down the star-in-circle stencil. In some period photos sometimes the gap isn't exactly over the star point. Archer is a good company with prompt service. For an effect that is supposed to be spray-painted or hand-painted, cry transfers are, in my opinion so much better than decals. And you usually get enough on a sheet for several models!
