Over the years, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has operated an impressive array of different aircraft types. This decal provides the markings for two Boeing 727-100s that were painted in the white and blue scheme worn during the 1980s. -
Over the years, Federal Express operated a large number of 727-200Fs. In addition, FedEx operated the last 727 ever built, N217FE. The decal depicts the final scheme used on the 727s with the white fuselage and purple tail. -
Famous for its colorful paint schemes, Braniff International brightened every airport it operated from. This decal provides the markings for the Boeing 727-227 for the "Jellybean" scheme of the 1960s. Only the first three aircraft (N401BN, N402BN and N403BN) were delivered in this scheme, before the "Flying Colors" scheme was adopted. Most of the fuselage was painted a solid bright color with the extreme lower belly and rear fuselage left bare metal. N401BN was bright red, N402BN was orange, and N403BN was bright blue. -
Northwest Orient Airlines took delivery of their first 727-200 (N252US) on October 19, 1968. These were followed by the 727-200A (advanced) with higher thrust engines. Later, additional 727-200s were acquired from the merger with Republic. The markings on this sheet represent the second scheme worn by the type at Northwest with the "NORTHWEST" titles replacing the previous "NORTHWEST ORIENT" titles. In addition, when the later "Bowling Shoe" scheme was unveiled many of the aircraft remaining in this scheme had the new style "N" added to the tail which is also included with this set. -
Founded by George T. Baker, Miami-based National Airlines operated until 1980 when they were acquired by Pan Am. National operated a large fleet including over 20 727-200s which our decal depicts. We have included six of the ship names that were applied to these 727s: Karen, Pamela, Martha, Brenda, Peggy and Gloria.
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.
