This decal is designed for the British Airways Concorde fleet painted in the final “Union Flag” paint scheme. Each Concorde had a slightly different variation of the tail design, and this decal depicts G-BOAC. -
Bloomington, Minnesota based Champion Air came to life after Front Page Tours purchased the operating certificate from MGM Grand Air in 1995. Champion Air ended up with an all 727-200 fleet flying sports and vacation charters as well as government contracts and even some scheduled services. The airline lasted until 2008 when high fuel prices were cited as one of the main reasons for Champion’s demise. -
This set provides a full set of doors, windows and details for making your own Concorde scheme. -
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. -
Acting as a hedge against the delays with the Lockheed Tristar program, Delta Air Lines placed an order for five DC-10-10s. These DC-10s were sold and immediately leased back from United Airlines, and were only operated from October 1972 to May 1975. For a short period in the early 1970s, Delta had the unique distinction of operating the DC-10, L-1011 and 747 simultaneously. -
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.
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.
