Status: offline 		Does anyone know where I can find a pin-up girl decal similar to the ones used on many WWII aircraft? I'm planing on naming my plane after my wife as a surprise. I have a friend that can do the lettering but I think the decal would really help the overall effect. I think I can get a lot of mileage out of this, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Make sure you're talking about the decal before answering this loaded question!

I personally make my own. A good printer and decal paper go a long way.

this is what mike is doing for me, great guy to work with.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the response everyone. The DECAL needs to be 3" to 5" tall depending on the orientation and she had better be a blonde if I know what's good for me. I'll check out those sites.

Thanks

The street racer kids cover thier cars with decals now, so there are several self-adhesive decals that, with a little trimming, work very well. I put one of these on an Extra 300 and it lasted longer than the plane did. I've seen them at NAPA, Pep Boys, etc. Pep Boys in particular had a large selection. Most are modern looking, but a few have a nostalgic pin-up look about them.
