1st thing to do is research the sign and the way they are applied in real life. Iraq would be an easy one to find out. Probably the best way to do it is to get some scrap styrene sheets and cut a piece to fit and act as a back-plate for the VP decal/sign. Then simply use a bit of CA to adhere the sign to a post or building. You can use some thin quage wire in addition to make it look like it was wired up.
