Ok I guess I'm the only one awake. So here is one solution that may help-trust me there are lots more- but this is simple enough for starters.

making a white decal

Don't be put off by the calibration equipment mentioned, it's nice if your into lots of color work, but for your situation you'll do fine with the basics as noted.

Also, unless your model is to be a precise historical replica museum peice, then the exact font can be something close (a serch of the free type fonts on the internet will likely get you something close)

Best wishes on you adventure

Hi there

If you look in the Craft shops you most likely will find a Letraset/Dridec sheet in white that might do the job for you. What scale are you building?

Did you try Colin at the Decalbank?
