Decal maker help with a DC-3?

[F-27pax]

I have a problem. As you can see, I've been working on making a pre-war Australian DC-3 and it's reached the stage of making and putting on the decals. I had hoped to make VH-UZJ, Kyilla, as it appeared when it first flew in Australia for Airlines of Australia in 1938. However, my decal making skills and software are not quite up to the task of making the curved 'AIRLINES OF AUSTRALIA' sign over the passenger door or the curved 'AIRLINES' in the logo on the tail. I tried making them straight and curving them around but that was not successful. If one of our august members could help me with this I would be very appreciative. Please let me know if you can help.

All is not lost if this is not possible because ANA later took it over so I can make this model in ANA markings or, alternatively, I can make the first ANA DC-3, VH-UZK, the Kurana, but that wouldn't be quite the same thing.

Wal, you are magnificent!! I.ve been dithering for weeks and you came up with part of the solution in ah hour.



Hey, aren't we supposed to be decorating Christmas trees or buying and wrapping presents, or something like that?

Not quite Santa, I still need the AIRLINES OF AUSTRALIA to go around the top of the door. Then you will be free to get on with those other Christmas chores.

Wal, you are a prince among men, a legend in your own time and you'd be Australian of the Year if I had a vote. This project, which has been bugging me for months can now be completed as I had hoped it would. Thanks four fine work on this for me.
