Capture the dawn of Southeast Asian commercial aviation with this historically accurate decal set for the Douglas DC-3 (C-47) in the Malayan Airways 1955 livery.
Malayan Airways was founded in 1947 and became the flag carrier of British Malaya during the final years of colonial rule. By 1955, the airline was operating Douglas DC-3s on routes connecting Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and other Malayan cities — bringing air travel to a region that would soon emerge as independent nations. This livery predates the airline's eventual transformation into Malaysia-Singapore Airlines and later Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines, making it a rare glimpse into the very origins of Southeast Asian aviation. Almost no other manufacturer offers this livery in decal form.
This decal set faithfully reproduces the complete 1955 Malayan Airways livery: fuselage titles, colonial-era markings, registration numbers, and full window lines — all researched from historical photographic references.

- Full livery decals for the Douglas DC-3 C-47 (Malayan Airways 1955)
