Welcome to DACO's website.
35 years ago (!), on September 7, 1989 to be exact, DACO Products was officially registered as a small business company, after having already been active for several years in the design of decals as a hobby...
It all started when I designed and “printed” my very first decals when I was 15-16 years old (over 40 years ago). Using a special copier that could not only print black, but also white, yellow, red and blue as “solid colors”, I was able to create my own emblems of then still new Belgian Air Force F-16A's, markings that did not exist on the market at that time. And after I entered the model at a local modelling competition, I had so many requests for these decals that I started looking for a screen printer who knew how to print decal, and I found one in Brussels (who was specialized in printing decals for the bike industry) ... Artwork was created with paper and Chinese ink on a larger scale and then reduced by Xerox photocopiers to scale. Several years later, this stage was replaced by large black studios with special cameras to make the screen films for each colour, until the purchase of the first Apple, a MacIntosh IIfx, allowing films to be made directly from artwork files.
35 years later and I'm about to release the long awaited 1/32 Fouga Magister kit, together by several highly detailed Belgian Air Force F-16 decals - making the circle round...
I never imaged that kind of progress 35 years ago ...
