Testor's decal maker is not particularily good. You are better off printing the design from Word or Photoshop onto Expert's Choice decal film, and then sealing it with airbrushed lacquer.

For every modeling technique that works, I have three that don't.

Paul,

I use the Testor's Decal Maker Kit to create my own custom decals, which I print right off my inkjet printer.  The kit contains a few sheets of clear decal paper, white decal paper, a spray fixative, and a CD for your computer, which contains a program that lets you lay out your designs on a sheet of decal paper for resizing and printing, and also type your own text, etc.  You can import any image file and resize it.  You can actually print images and text from any program you like, such as WORD, PAINTBRUSH, ADOBE, etc.  I usually just copy images on the computer, such as from a web site, photo, etc., then resize them according to what I need.  I print them on the decal paper with my inkjet printer, let dry, apply spray fixative, let dry, then apply like any decal.  I've had a lot of success with it.  If you go here you can read about the kit. http://ehobbyland.stores.yahoo.net/tedesy.html.  In your case, all you need to do is copy the image you want from the web site, and you're all set.
