Just have a custom set of decals made. It will be faster and cheaper (and MUCH better for your sanity) in the long run.

I know that's not what the instructions say, but the kit's wrong anyway.

TL Modellbau of Germany offers a range of generic decals with stripes in various widths and even matching curves , as well as "massive" sheets, in a wide range of colors (incl. gold and silver) so you can easily combine single elements. I have been using the stuff on several occasions where painting would have been a PITA.
