Google "Amarillo Font" and you'll find plenty of free (legal) downloads. Install the fonts on your computer and you could print your own buzz numbers and such.
Re the tail badge, you can save this:
You can adjust the size and resolution in Photoshop. When you're done, print it on white decal paper.
