Some one may be able to help more but I use this link http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attac...mentid=1403151 often times to locate the decal that I am looking for and print it out onto decal sheet or save the image and take it to a print shop with a large printer and have it made up. you can also have a print shop or a sign shop make it in vinyl!
You can scale the decal to size or have the local print shop do it. They normaly only charge a couple dollars for their service and are glad to help.

That link has a ton of insignia so you will need to search a little. Good luck

You can also find a similiar plane or an ARF or kit with the same markings and order the decals for it as a "part".

Tower also has a selection of after market plane decals.

Callie Graphics - she does a fantastic job. She does custom decals as well. For my dads plane, I designed a unique version of a starburst pattern and we sent plans to her and got back wonderful decals. Also on her website she has shirts, hats, practice planes, etc. and their is a very good selection for color.

Bad Brad Graphics does a great job but as you are in the UK you may find someone more local. The problem with printing your own, like I do, it that you can't print white and as I recall, from watching the Red Arrows fly that plane, that's what you need.
