WW2-style decal. Help needed.

[Welsh Paul]

Hi folks,
I'm shortly going to be taking delivery of another Forge World heavy artillery piece and need help with the decals.
I already have a Deth Korps of Krieg decal sheet, but I have run out of the white stripe decals that go around the larger gun barrels (see link below for an example):

Does anyone know where I could find such a decal without have to shell out another £10 for a DKoK sheet? I'm sure that there are plenty of WW2 miniatures that would come with them but I am unsure where to look.

Ehm.. It does look quite simple to just paint it on..?

Some masking tape should do it..? Or am I missing something?

It would need to be very VERY exact and I'm not too sure that masking tape would give as perfectly smooth a line as I'd need.

Consider looking for decal sheets from 1/35th scale Flak 88 kits or Tiger tanks on ebay or the like. Stripes like that were used to denote the number of tank kills, so you might be able to find them on the decal sheets for most WWII German tanks or SPGs.

In that case I won't need them if my scatter dice keep up their form! ;D

REALLY easy to do, just follow kras' advice. Masking tape with a gap between, paint in wanted colour. It really is that simple.
