Yeah, but you probably already have some. Take a look at the official Somali "roundel" at this site (scroll down):

...and tell me if you don't already have some "Somali" roundels in your own decal collection mistaken for US markings!!

:lol:

...Since you live in the States, I could easily mail you some. I have a tremendous stash, and I'm pretty sure I can come up with some overly-light US roundels. Tell me what size you need (in inches or fractions) and PM me with your mailing address.

[edit]  WOW! Sorry, but I just went through my stash and didn't find any "light" US markings. I was SURE I had some, but I probably threw them out because knew I would never use them. Sorry again!

Though I didn't have any in my stash of decals, I am SURE I have seen "light blue" US roundels such as you might need.

I would encourage anyone with a large stash of "old" (c.1970-80) kits of US subjects to look in them for off-color US decals.

PS--The Somali tail markings of a blue stripe with a white star on top should be easy to replicate if "official" Somali decals are not available.
