Re: Beefing up Tamiya decals...
After checking out the model in question, I take back my recommendation to paint the area white like I previously suggested - I was envisioning a dark border of some kind, but in this case the lettering goes all the way to the clear edge of the decal. While it might be possible to make a stencil by printing onto frisket and then cutting along the edge, I think it would be pretty hard to get it right. And you've got the "holes" in the A, R and O to consider.
Of course, if you can do that, you won't need the decal!
Sometimes perfection is just plain impractical, and this might be an example of that. Personally, I could live with a double decal or a pale pink "CASTROL" better than with a messed up, raggedy-edged CASTROL.
