Hi all,
Im planning to do a black knights scheme on a AD F16. I am looking for a place to find the text "black knights" as its written on the fullscale. Another one I havnt found is the horse on the tail. Any help on where to find something like this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I built a Avonds F-16 some years ago. I used the internet to find decals and pictures. Use Google and write "F-16 Black Knights".

Here is what i foud after 30 seconds of search.

ive never done this before... could you please tell me how i would blow up the above image to make it scale for 1:6.8 without loosing resolution?

That's easy to answer: you can't. You'll end up with an image that looks as if it's been created using bricks...

What you will need is a higher resolution image that you can vectorize (meaning: draw it by hand in a vector-type program). This vector image can be scaled to any size without loosing quality, and vcan be used to either print custom decals or plot "stickers" on a cutting plotter.

Hope that helps some... :-)

You could vectorize the picture of the decals there and then blow them up, that will give you the same results. Or you could order a set of decals like the ones above and scan then on a high res scanner then vectorize them in Illustrator like I do and cut paint masks.

Email pix to tailormade decals. Ralf made a set for me my secret paint job which are absolutely perfect.

Photoshop is a Raster Image program. Illustrator is a vector-based program.

Miniflyer

If you have access to such a machine, you should also have access to the vectoring know-how (i prefer Corel though....)

Buy a set of plastic decals, scan them hi-res, trace them in Corel (or another vector format of preference) and off you go :-)
