I didn't have any 8" numbers and letters so I had to use the NOVO ones. They have yellowed a lot but I am hoping several coats of varnish will tone them down.

You could try minimizing the impact by overpainting the clear sections with the base fuselage colour. You have to use a very fine brush and be careful not to overpaint the letter/numerals...but it would hide the yellowed decal carrier film.

I think my eyeballs would burst into flames trying this. I might have been able to do this twenty years ago
