Custom F-14 decals

hey guys, I have a project that I would like one of you to complete. I have customized 2 century tomcats to look like the VF-41 Black Aces during their stay on the USS Theodore Roosevelt using my own custom decals. The problem is that most of the markings that were already on these F-14's are colored grey, whereas I need them to be colored white in order to match the low-viz scheme of that period. However I have not been able to do it myself because everytime I make my own white decals, the ink fades after the decal is placed in water. Can somebody take on this project of recoloring the markings, via new decals or stencils?

Ok, I see what you mean now.






camdecals.com makes the above decal sheet for 1/48th scale. I didn't see one for 1/72nd, but you might ought to contact them and if it's available.

Re: Custom F-14 decals

They're definatly not. Thats why I had to resort to making my own. And I don't like collecting 1/48 scale tomcats because they're too big and cumbersome. But I really want my planes to be as accurate as possible, so if anyone could help me that would be great.
