Hello everyone: I would like to know what unit badge was put on the side of this unique all-yellow FW-190F, and possible decal sources as well...:

You can work it out from the caption. It was used by the 353rd FS.

Thanks! Any decal sources of the right 1/48th size for the badge are still welcomed...
(I couldn't read the first no. of that caption myself; Good show!)
