the only problem with that is it's on a white background. Now, if you want to spend the time to actually cut out each letter or whatever, then it will work. But, when you are wanting to put black lettering on a grey plane, it just doesn't look that good with the white on the outside of the lettering. But, if you can find one that is printed on clear, that would be the ticket. No water needed to get it on the plane lol.

Like these? http://www.officedepot.com/a/product...ls-Full-Sheet/

They are a bit pricey though.

Those would work and the price isn't too bad, just $1 per sheet. And you would be able to do an entire plane with a single sheet. I may have to look into it, but I'm going to play with the actual decal maker for now lol. I'm also using Gimp for all my photo editing if anyone was interested.

Default Easy sticker decals

Hey guys, go to your local office max, or office supply store, and pick yourself up a package of (clear) 8.5x11 (shipping labels). Slap them in your printer, print your design, or pic or whatever, then cut it out and stick it to your model. If you want them waterproof, lay the printed sheet on a piece of cardboard or something, and spray them with a (clear ) finish. Let them dry, and wam bam, bodda boom, bodda bing, instant sticker decal!
