Thanks Gordon, that would be great 
Here are details of possible products for creating the livery for your water carrier.
From the motoring accessory shop I bought at some time some self-adhesive stripes called Ricardo Roll Stripes.
From model shops you should be able to buy rolls of self-adhesive stripes called Trinline. They come in a range of colours, including red, and each roll consists of 8 x 2.5m lengths, one length of each of 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1.3mm, 2.1mm, 3.3mm, 5mm, 7mm and 10mm widths, so you have plenty to work with, both in length and widths. If you can't get them locally, try mail order/internet order from:
W Hobby Ltd
Knight's Hill Square
LONDON
SE27 0HH
The code for red Trimline is TR3. (There website is not the greatest for finding stuff, hence the code.)
Another possibility is waterslide transfers. I buy from Mabex and they do a set of mixed red lines reference 478g which would do the job. They are high quality waterslide transfers although some of them are rather old and the carrier film has yellowed a bit. This can be bleached by leaving them sheet of decals in the sun for a few days. The widest line on the sheets is 5mm and I only use the narrower lines, so you could have the wide lines if you want. They are just under 13cm long so if you measure up how many you need for your water carrier, I'll pop them in the post.
