Luton-based Monarch Airlines is one of the largest UK charter airlines. Monarch operated a sole DC-10-30 G-DMCA between 1996 and 2003. This DC-10 was retired and broken up in 2003 with the forward section of the fuselage surviving as an exhibit at the Aviation Viewing Park at Manchester Ringway Airport. -
Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Omni Air International provides charter and ACMI flights worldwide. Omni Air International operated a large number of DC-10s, and this decal depicts the various DC10-30s operated by Omni Air International in their original all-white scheme. -
Prior to their demise, ATA acquired a group of ex-Northwest DC-10-30s. This decal depicts their first DC-10-30, N701TZ, and it operated in this hybrid paint scheme, NWA silver fusleage with a dark blue tail and simplified ATA markings. ATA operated a total of six of these ex-Northwest DC-10s for a short period in 2007 and 2008. -
This set provides a standard set of doors and windows for all versions of the DC-10. Our decal has been updated to include pitots, static ports, relief valve and both sizes of the forward cargo door. -

After the merger with Republic Airlines, Northwest inherited a large fleet of DC-9s. Always looking for a bargain, Northwest also supplemented the inherited fleet with additional DC-9s including a small fleet of twelve DC-9-40s, all of which initially wore the "Bowling Shoe" scheme. -
USAir introduced a new corporate color scheme in August 1989, at the time of the final integration of Piedmont Airlines. The aircraft were overall bare metal, with light gray wings, wing-body fairing, horizontal stabilizers, #2 inlet section, gear doors, and radome. -
Prior to the termination of a long-term contract in 2004, Ryan International Airlines operated 11 Boeing 727-200 freighters for Emery Worldwide, in full Emery colors. The aircraft were owned by Emery, but leased to Ryan. Eight non-advanced ex-United Airlines 727-222s were acquired in 1994-95, followed by three Advanced 727-225s in 1999 (coming from Northwest Airlines).
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.
