To make your own on the computer did you just buy sticker paper and print on it? It would be sweet to have a transfer style decal (iron on?), but that may be too fancy for me to be able to do.

I've done water transfer decals on an inkjet then sprayed clearcoat. The paper is around $2/sheet.

I just made a master on a standard sheet of paper, took it to sign shop and they printed several using clear label paper.

Probably could do all at home. Total investment was less than 5 bucks.

I just couldn't see spending $ 25-30 on decals that are kinda what I want.

Spending a little time on internet you can find images and lettering fonts. Then save images, get the youngest person in the household to resize them for you. Thank god for my kids when I need to do something non routine on the computer.

got a little further on my paint scheme. It is kind of a mash up of the targets the Navy currently uses, and the anti-glare black nose from F4-phantom target they used for many years. I haven't done the wing yet, been too busy with Christmas stuff.

I have next week "off" from work, Im going to try to get out to Fort Ebey, or maybe really go for it and take a trip over to Wenatchee. Granted this is the only thing I have to slope now, since I parallel parked my Alula in a tree at Discovery park. Don't look away while flying a light plane in high wind!
