In early 2008, Turkmenistan Airlines introduced a new color scheme. The green colors were a break from the airline's previous blue-themed schemes. Although it is painted in the colors of Turkmenistan Airlines, the first 777-22KLR to join the fleet, EZ-A777, is actually a VIP transport aircraft for the president of the country. Two more 777LRs were delivered in 2014, both appearing to be regular passenger-carrying aircraft. -
Like the other members of the Skyteam Alliance, Aeroflot Russian Airlines has painted some of its aircraft in the special Skyteam color scheme. This decal provides the markings for 777-3M0ER VQ-BQG which was delivered new from Boeing in this scheme. -
Air China, the flag carrier of the People's Republic of China, was formed in 1988 when the former CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China) was reorganized into separate airlines based on their geographic region. Air China took over most of the international long-haul routes and aircraft. In 2011, Air China took delivery of its first Boeing 777-300ERs. The airline recently took delivery of the 20th and final airframe of this order. -
In December 2014, Korean low-cost carrier Jin Air (a subsidiary of Korean Air) received its first 777-200ER. The aircraft, HL7743, came from parent company Korean Air. Jin Air now operates a fleet of four ex-Korean Air 777-200ERs.
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.
