"Super Corsair" decal in the "Budweiser Light" scheme as originally released by Red Pegasus, now printed in our Next Generation DIGITAL Silk process, not on an ALPS printer.

B-24 ‘Witchcraft’ joined the 467th Bomb Group in 1944. She flew the first mission of the 467th. Over the the next year, with various different crews, Witchcraft completed 130 combat missions. Over these missions, she never once turned back, and no crewman was injured or killed. She flew her last combat mission on April 25 1945, which was none other than the last mission flown by the 467th. Our decal depicts the restored aircraft markings on the Collings Foundation N224J which may vary from the original markings. -

The Bf-109 V13 and V14 prototypes were the first Bf-109 airframes to utilize Daimler-Benz DB 600-series engines. These DB-powered prototypes made their first public appearance at the Zürich‑Dübendorf aviation meet of 1937. Bf-109 V13 D‑IPKY was flown by Carl Francke who won the climb and dive competition. This aircraft later beat the world land plane speed record a few months later. This decal was originally released by Red Pegasus. -
After competing in the 1964 Harold's Club Transcontinental Trophy Dash and at the Reno Air Races, Chuck Lyford continued to race his all-white P-51D-25 at Reno placing second in the Gold Race in 1965 and dropping out of the Gold Race in 1966. This version of the "Bardahl Special" was the second version used with the black and orange reversed for better visibility.
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.
