Have the old Revell Stuka with the snake decals in the box and of course the minute I pulled one of the decals out of the water one decal turned into many pieces so cruised ebay didn't have very much luck so here I am does anyone know where to get any 1/32 scale JU87 -B decals doesn't have to be the Snake version but I already painted the model in a tropical camo scheme thanks for your time

I can feel your pain. I just went through a similar experience with a 1/48 Mosquito that I am building in 418 Sqn RCAF markings. It took a long time to find the discontinued decals, then they fell apart when wet.
Have you ever thought of making your own stencils and just painting on the markings? There are some good youtube videos on making stencils from adhesive tape or some of the commercially available stencil films.
In the past I have made some of my own stencils by drawing the marking on paper, or printing the simple design, then placing it under a thin piece of glass (tape it to the underside of the glass), then I would put some painter's tape onto the top of the glass and trace the pattern onto the painter's tape and cut it out with a hobby knife. I also found that the clear plastic disposable food containers also work well.
If you still have most of the original decal sheet you could simply put that under the glass/plastic and use that for your template.
I have also found that a couple of layers of scotch tape can also work. Just make sure you "de-tack" it a bit before sticking it to the glass. That improves your chances of pulling the stencil off the glass without tearing it.
The German markings should be simple to do because they are mostly made of straight edges.
If you choose to use a brush to paint over the stencils I'd recommend using a dry brush technique so that you don't build up paint edges around the edges of your stencils.
Please post photos of your results it you decide to give the homemade stencils a try.
Good luck!

They look great!

Sometimes results can be weighed as much by the recovery from adversity as any other barometer, and you my friend passed with 5-stars!
