Here's one I did a several years ago. If I recall correctly, I made my own decals using Testors decal paper and an inkjet, though I'm not at all certain how I got the white background... maybe I spray painted it white first. I'm also not sure how I got this thing apart, I believe it just clips together. At any rate, it's a favorite, even though it's a fairly common casting. I'd like to do a few more of these with the different colors and decals. Best, BG

White decal paper would require careful trimming before application, but is probably the easiest way to replicate white graphics and signage. However you got the white in the decals, the end result looks quite good!
