Pan American World Airways operated a small fleet of 737-200s on their intra-European routes. A portion of these Pan Am 737-200s received the "billboard" scheme Pan Am adopted prior to their eventual demise. Our decal includes Clipper names for six 737s that received the Billboard scheme. -
British Airways was one of the two airlines that operated the incomparable Concorde. The set is for the final "Union Flag" scheme used by British Airways on their seven Concordes. Each tail of the seven British Airways Concordes were a bit different, and our decal offering closely matches G-BOAG -
In 1999, Northwest painted ex-Varig DC-10-30 N237NW into a special "Alliance " paint scheme to commemorate the new Alliance between Northwest and KLM. Each side was a combination of the two paint schemes, but in reversed order side to side. The scheme did not last long, and N237NW was painted back into the standard NWA "Bowling Shoe " scheme. -
Northwest was one of the last operators of passenger DC10s, amassing a large fleet of second-hand DC-10-30s to go along with their original DC-10-40s. The decal depicts the Landor-designed "Bowling Shoe" livery worn on both types. Our updated decal includes double-struck white ink. -
Prior to its merger with Republic Airlines, Hughes Airwest operated a fleet of 16 "Baby-9s" - Douglas DC-9-14s and -15s. Ten of these aircraft were DC-9-15RCs with cargo doors and a second overwing exit on each side of the fuselage. This set allows you to model either variant of the Baby Banana. -
Delta Air Lines was the first operator of the venerable Douglas DC-9, placing their first DC-9-14 into service on December 8, 1965. The initial scheme on the DC-9 featured a sideways "Widget" on the tail which lasted a few short years before being rotated 90 degrees for the more familiar look that lasted many years.
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.
