| Hi Brendon,
Custom Decals certainly seems to be a popular topic this month, this is the 2nd such thread I have replied to on this subject today !!
Another way to do it is take the plunge and make your own, not as difficult as you may think, especially with computers and printers these days.
I remember doing this years ago (long before home pc's were available) My Ex Boss's Wife flew to Australia to see family out there. The First time she had ever flown or been abroad and she wanted something to remember the trip by.
She had flown there on a Singapore Airlines 747.....she also knew I was a modelmaker. She asked me if I could do a 747 in Singapore Airlines Markings....So I accepted the challenge.
She bought the Airfix 747 Kit and gave it to me to get on with. The Kit itself then was only available in Lufthansa, British Airways or Air France Markings. (which I was aware of at the time....hence the challenge !)
So I built the kit and made my own waterslide decals by hand, with all the Singapore Airlines Markings. The Model came out superb and My Ex Boss's wife was chuffed to bits with it.
Admittedly some markings will be harder than others...thats where the computer comes in handy..!!
Having seen the Emirates Markings & Colours, these look quite easy, you could paint the stripes on the Tail Fin. The lettering & other logos can be done on computer quite easily and scaled to the size you require.
Good Luck and I hope the pic is of use to you.
Regards........Mark.
