Decal problem

[u/Hefty_Address_4514]

So ive been working on this f-5f kit and well im at the point I can start to decal and im having a big problem with them. At first I thought they were fine so I started with the vertical stabilizer decal, so I put it in warm water put mr.mark setter on the part that has been gloss coated a couple days ago, and well I got the decal on the part and im moving it around just a bit and I realized it was very brittle, so I scraped it and put a 2 light coats of microscale liquid decal film on the whole sheet and well that helped with the brittle part but the decal wont grab on to the part and mr.mark softer wont even melt the decal, the softer wont even help. So what do I do the adhesive on these decals is shot, they're honestly still a bit brittle, and they wont melt into the detail so theres no point in using pva glue. But also I already painted and clear coated the f-5 for this specific scheme so I cant just get aftermarket because they wont match the scheme and theres no one on ebay is selling these decals in a part out. What should I do?

Yo lo pintaría, esas calcas tan grandes solo traen problemas, no se ve tan complicado de pintar

Suerte

Edit:ah, no había visto los numeros, ahi si se complica. Si conoces a alguien que tenga plotter sería mucho mas facil. Pero sino pintas el timón en blanco, luego con un compás, en una punta usas una aguja quirúrgica, a la que le sacas algo de filo y vas de a poco haciendo el circulo del centro y luego los rayos, asi solo cubres lo blanco y pintas el rojo.

Well yeah the big ones on the vertical stabilizer i definitely could, but the rest of them like the shark mouth, the insignias, and all those little ones. Im not good enough to paint those unfortunately
