academy decals

i am building an old 1/48 academy MERKAVA someone gave me. a weekend build which, of course, i stretched out. s**t oh dear i started putting the decals on and i think they are stickers and not very good ones. i know academy decals aren't the best (pulled it off on an old I-16 but i was lucky and it was my first plane so i wasn't going to win anything) but these defy description. decided they were NEVER going to form around the bussle rack ribs so i just used the Vs. i don't think there is enough dulcoat or microsolve to fix these. one fell off on the floor, saw it hit, can't find it. oh well. weathering is your friend. apoligies for the rant. while you are here where can i get am 1/35 IDF/HEBREW and ARAB NUMBER decals?
