The prototype DC-8 made its first flight in May 1958 adorned with these very sharp looking Douglas house colors. During the DC-8s testing, four different ships were painted in this scheme: N8008D, N8018D, N8028D and N8038D. This set includes the full markings for these four prototype DC-8s, and the instruction sheet includes a diagram of where to cut down the stretch DC-8 kits into this shorter DC-8. 1959 photo of N8038D at PHX from Jon Proctor taken by Bob Proctor. -
This decal provides the markings for the current AMC Gray scheme worn by aircraft from the combined 436th Airlift Wing (Active) and 512th Airlift Wing (Reserve) based at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. Aircraft are painted overall AMC Proud Gray - FS 36173. Photos are of an Otaki C-5 built by Tobias Meier. -
Founded in 1985, Dragonair (then Hong Kong Dragon Airlines), was a small airline based in Hong Kong. Originally operating Boeing 737s, the airline later acquired Lockheed L1011 Tristars from Cathay Pacific when that airline took on a financial stake in the airline. Airbus A320s were added in 1993, followed by Airbus A330-300s in 1995. -
The 317th Airlift Wing of the USAF is stationed Dyess AFB in Texas, the same base as the 7th Bomb Wing's B-1B "Bone." Our decal depicts the C-130H model which wore three different Dyess tail bands. The unit is currently transitioning to the longer C-130J model. -
Eastern Air Lines was the launch customer for the 757, and they placed their first of 25 757s into service in 1983. All of Eastern’s 757s were delivered in a modified version of Eastern’s “hockey stick” scheme with a large 757 emblazoned on the tail. Initially the 757s were bright and highly-polished, but as Eastern’s fortunes declined the aircraft’s appearance also declined to a dull, oxidized finish. -
In early 2015, easyJet, England's premier low-cost carrier, unveiled a new color scheme for its aircraft. The geometric patterns add more orange to the overall aircraft. New delivery A320s are being painted in this new scheme, and the older A320s will likely also be repainted at some point. -
easyJet started taking delivery of the A321neo in 2018, and they have slowly been growing their fleet. As of 2025, 11 are operated by the UK operation, and another 8 are operated by easyJet Europe based in Austria. This decal covers the basic 2015 scheme for the easyJet A321neo fleet.
About Draw Decal
Offering High Quality and Unique Aircraft Decals Since 1999!
How did we get our Name?
My father is a US Army-trained draftsman, and he always signed his drawings with the initials “DRAW.” Since we have to DRAW our decals, and DRAW is also the first four letters of my last name, it seemed to be a natural name for our company.
What is the idea behind DRAW Decal?
I produce airline decals that normally would not be popular enough to justify mass producing. Each decal is printed as demand warrants, one page at a time by a professional print house. This makes for slow production, but it allows us to individually inspect each decal and to also update the decal sets as the need arises. While these production sets are all currently available, they are only produced (i.e. printed) as they are ordered. I have no large pile of unsold, unpopular decals to contend with this way. Our decals are as close to custom-made as possible.
Who creates your art?
The art work for our decals is created by a group of artists, with each one contributing sets of their own unique design and preference. Currently, DRAW Decal offers decals designed by: Tim Bradley, Mike Egan, Norm Filer, Mike Jernfors, Jeff Thomsen and yours truly, Greg Drawbaugh. Each set is identified by whom designed it unless I was the one who designed it.
How do I do that?
Our decals are printed in our exclusive Next Generation DIGITAL Silk process using a large format digital printer that prints white ink. We do NOT sell ANY laser-printed decals. Laser printers are for printing instruction sheets, not printing decals.
We are made the switch to our latest Next Generation DIGITAL Silk process to provide what we believe to be among the highest quality decals in the industry. We also want to be able to provide subjects that just would not print well using any other process. Quality and value have always been our driving force, and we continue to push the limits of what our printer and artwork is capable of producing. We operate under a continual improvement process for all of our decals.
Do you run out of stock?
No, as I print decals only as they are ordered. This ensures that the decals are fresh and never out of stock. This also allows me to make corrections and additions to each set as they occur.
Once applied, these decals will look just like they were painted on, rather than just “stickers” applied over a paint job. Remember, the art of decaling is making it look like you did not use any decals!
Thanks for stopping by, and come back often to see what we have added.
