The original decals for the Quest Intruder left a lot to be desired. The production photo and the actual decals are quite different (also note that the bottom fins are different). I don't want to get into a heavy critiquing of decals. They just weren't good enough. Between my art degree and drafting skills, I ought to be able to come up with something more convincing. The first thing I realized was how very little I knew about airplane and their markings. A lot of work and research went into getting something close to right. Every number has a meaning with the "N" number being the single most unusual. I gave it a Dutch "P" number instead. TY for Tyndall and the 95th Fighter Squadron stationed at Tyndall, that just happens to have a skeleton in their insignia.

Obviously, some items were borrowed from the Estes Interceptor and Der Red Max. I've always liked Der Red Max's skull and cross bones. These's a happier, more upbeat look to it than most.

The SkyPiratess
A very international project., Ashley Martin from South Africa, created the bomber nose art for the SkyPirate.

Note, the watermark will not be on the actual project.

I found a custom decal vendor on the internet that looked promising. Called them up and gave an explanation about what I was up to, even the bomber nose art. Every seemed fine. Weeks later, I had not heard from them, so I called. One of the employees told me owner had objected to the artwork and refused to do it.

I emailed the owner curious to find out what he objected to, but never heard from him.

While there is no nudity, the tan colored shirt probably didn't help.
