DECAL RESOURCES
USS Flagg Replacement Decals
Here are three options for replacement decals for the USS Flagg. I have personally used ToyHax for the USS Flagg and was extremely pleased with the quality. I have not used Rattler Repros, but they are another resource I commonly see recommended. I have not used Merch Explosion, but the flight deck decals appear (I'm not 100% certain) to only have breaks at the actual breaks between pieces.

USS Flagg Original Decal Files
Here are scans from my personal collection. These files might be helpful for creating your own decals in Photoshop.
There are three (3) "Aircraft Carrier Label Sheets." There are two (2) additional "Deck Runway Label Sheets." I currently don't have the "Deck Runway Label Sheets" to make scans, so I will add them when I can.

Ideas & Tools for Making Your Own Decals
NOTE: I recommend getting a machine that will cut decals for you. I have a link to the Cricut Explore Air 2 below.
Print Decals: Print your decals on a regular 8.5" x 11" sheet of glossy decal paper. I prefer a full sheet label so I can place my decals anywhere on the sheet.
Seal Decals: Once you've printed your decals, you can protect them by placing a single-sided, self-sealing laminating sheet over top. You should use a decal squeegee to eliminate bubbles. A link is provided below to the laminate sheets. For decals that you are placing on wood, you can use a polycrylic as an additional sealant for the decals.
Hand Cut: For decals that you are hand-cutting, there are three tools that I recommend: X-Acto Knife, 12"x18" self-healing cutting mat, and an 18" cork-backed metal ruler.
Machine Cut: Some decals can be printed and die-cut using a Cricut. You can use the PNGs below to upload to your Cricut Design Space. I've included print size dimensions.
Decal Placement: You may want a set of hobby tweezers to help with placement of decals to make sure you get them straight. The X-Acto Knife can also be helpful in removing the backing from decals.
Color Matching: The Adobe Capture app has been one of my favorite tools. It uses the camera on your phone and gives you the color codes for your graphics so that you can color match anything! It's helpful in designing decals as well as paint colors.

Font Files
Here are the fonts I use. "ARAH" is for G.I. JOE text. "Flagg 99" is for the "CVN 99" text. I use the "Mastermind" for Cobra.

Custom Superstructure Decals
NOTE: The GI Joe themed decals are best printed on a white vinyl.
NOTE: The Cobra themed decals are best printed on a transparent sticker paper.
Custom Flag Decals
Flag print size is 3.68cm x 5.75cm. Print size includes both front and back sides as a single image, but Cricut will cut as two images.
Custom Flight Deck Decals
"99"
The "99" Deck Decal is designed to print at the same size as the original. Using the font labeled "Flagg 99" from above, I created a printable PNG decal for a letter-size glossy decal sheet.
NOTE: Numbers 2, 4, 5, and 7 are missing as they don't fit in the molded placement location on the flight deck. Number 6 is missing because you can simply print the 9 and turn it upside-down. PRINT SIZE: The Print Size is the same for all numbers: 14.5cm x 25.29cm. |
Stern Deck
Custom Missile Launch System Decals
Custom Stern & Fantail Deck Decals
Custom Tow Vehicle & Fuel Trailer Decals
Custom Microphone & Loudspeaker Decals
There are two microphone and loudspeaker models that resemble the one from the USS Flagg. Both of them are yellow and neither of them make the same sounds as the Flagg's original microphone and loudspeaker. However, you may decide to use them for replacement parts or even create a custom microphone and loudspeaker as pictured here.
Custom Base Decals (Photoshop & PDF Files)
You can also open these PDFs as a Photoshop file. These files are a work in progress as I continue to organize the layers and create new images. PNGs have a transparent background. They are good sources for using with a Cricut.
