IF there aren't any out there (I'm not certain), I would recommend masking carefully and painting or get some of the testor's white decal paper (make sure to get the white, not the clear), spray on a couple coats of the decal bonder and cut to your desired size.  When using the clear with printed on stuff I custom-made, I found I had to use two decals (one right over the other, which was actually a LOT easier than it sounds, just push it around with a toothpick until the words line up) to get the opacity I desired (at suggestion from Mr. Skinner).  You may need two layers if you use the decal paper, I'm not sure though as I haven't used the white background one yet.

thank you for your help. Will try your approach. As you know many of the 'ace fighters' had these bars painted on the tail. best

I have not come across specific markings for those. AM sets tend to be for specific aircraft and would include those if needed.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
