I am new to printing Decals, i have done it before but never had great success
the decal on the tank is identical to the one i printed for the otherside
but when its on the tank the yellow turns red.. this was printed on clear paper so i didnt have to cut very carefully round this shape.
this decal was printed on white paper and worked....so i have learnt something today.
The kit decals really have given up and cracked and shattered like a windscreen when placed in warm water so its this or nothing.
I found that when i built my last model car i wanted some oval number boards and suitable numbers and again i could do with some here but they are not readily available on any of the usual decal sites ar ebay. in 1/9 or 1/6 but you can get thin self adhesive vinyl versions for slot cars.

Most inkjet inks don't have much in the way of opaque pigments. It seems that only the black inks are "mostly" opaque.
Looks like you are on to some solutions.

I was sorting through some old decals today looking for something i could make some number boards out of for my fairing when i found an old sheet of 1/32 Corsair decals VFA192..... they very nearly match hondas 1970 faring design. I think had these been 1/48 i might have gotten away with it
