Good morning Doug,

     I recently purchased a CJ6 which is currently at VAM in BC.  The paint is nasty but will have to wait.  I was wondering if you know where I could source some Chinese PLAF decals for the side of the aircraft.

  Thanks,

Phil Nicholson

Get a good picture and take to a shop that does vehicle wraps.  They can make what ever size, color, ect you want.

Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2010 8:40 am Post subject: Updated insignia availability

Getting quite a few requests and I have both a Russian and Chinese insigna converted to a PDF that can be opened in Illustrator. The Chinese characters on Nanchangs I've seen (including mine) tend to be vague and innacurate. Even after I posted mine, I went back and did some more research and tightened them up so this is the newest most correct version.



If you use these, I'd appreciate a couple of bucks (they're my original artwork) but hopefully this helps folks who are looking for the right thing.



Note that a sign shop uses vector art (as opposed to bitmap), if you supply a JPEG, they have to redraw and re-interpret the JPEG and the generational and human losses can make the insignias come out vague and innacurate.

I ran across a vector graphic of the PLAAF roundel. I post a link later today.

That wikipedia mess is a great example of a poorly researched and badly drawn insignia. Not only is the letting not correct, It's drawn with dozens of misalgned straight points rather than curves and looks like it was chiseled out of wood.



That's why I drew them cleanly for use on our aircraft.

Isn't that the cool thing about wikipedia? You can fix it if it's wrong. 



I'd love to see a better version posted for the benefit of the community.
