Your models look great. I am going to have to print them out. I do have a question, how do you scale them in word?
Melvin,
What I do is find an image on the internet (usually in jpeg format) and download it. Then I go into word and insert the image I downloaded. Then to scale it, you just click it and drag the corner bigger or smaller to fit your needs. I always print out the word document on regular paper first with various sizes at the same time to find the one that fits.
What I found is that if the engine color is dark, use White Decal Paper with the background of the image matching the engine color. If the engine is light, use Clear Decal Paper.
Here is another example of a decal job I did:
