He is based in Europe in Austria but as the stencils are sent in a regular envelope the postage costs are minimal and while the quality is high the cost of the stencils is almost giveaway,
If you know the numbers then that is what Rad will send you but he will happily compose a valid set for you along with the stars,
Message him he is very helpful.
Stenciling is an option and is how I mark my 1/6th scale tanks by making my own disposable stencil, however in 1/16 is a bit problematic. For large markings like stars, crosses or Large German tank numbers they work alright but for smaller bumper ID letters and TO&E marks Decals are easier and more practical. I'll hit him up though to see what he's got

Ebay has a lot of options, just search "1/16 sherman decals".
I've seen the sets on ebay before posting on here, most are specific to a certain type of vehicle and are not really what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something more along the lines of this, https://www.archertransfers.com/AR35516.html
