Most of the markings can be sourced from generic USAF sheets. I can send you the detail markings for the option Im not going to use if you'd like. Sorry, not the sharkmouth.

Otherwise you might try an alternative marking from someone other than the USAF. RCAF, RAAF, SAAF, SwAF, the many South American airforces that flew it...

They should. Try getting ahold of the shop you bought the kit from.
