decals
Hey guys:
I made my decals (water transfer) by scanning and otherwise creating the subject in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator (you can just as easily use less expensive apps.) then printing them on photo paper with my Epson Stylus 740 inkjet printer and finally taking the color printout to a local copy shop and having them run the copies on decal paper. This approach is cheap and produces great results, however I think it would be tough to create accurate scale decals this way since you have to control both the color matching of the injet output as well as the color copier. For sport projects however it is more than acceptable.
One of the neat little touches I did was my name in a nice font to use below the canopies of my planes.
