In March 1984, Korean Air took delivery of four DC-10-30 aircraft. A fifth frame would be leased from Japan Air System (JAS) from 1988 to 1989. All five aircraft would eventually wear the late 1980s baby blue color scheme, though HL7329 would vary slightly by retaining a bare metal lower belly. This decal provides the markings for any of the five Diesel-Tens operated by Korean. -
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. -
Long time Douglas customer United Airlines was an early operator of the DC-10 trijet taking delivery of the first of an initial batch of 25 DC-10-10s in 1971. All 25 were delivered in the classic United “Friend Ship” scheme which our decal depicts. -

Union de Transports Aériens - UTA was a French airline which was absorbed into Air France starting in 1990. UTA operated seven DC-10-30s, five of which migrated to Air France and lasted only a short while thereafter. Our decal depicts the classic “Green Door” UTA livery for their DC-10s. -

Founded by George T. Baker, Miami-based National Airlines operated until 1980 when they were acquired by Pan Am. National was an early user of the DC-10 trijet taking delivery of DC-10-10 N60NA in 1971. Longer range DC-10-30s were added in 1973. Our decal depicts the classic National “Sun King” scheme for their DC-10 fleet. Our decal includes the ship names: Barbara, Suzanne, Frances, Wisty, Renee, Marlene and Timmi. -

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.
