As a kid, I loved building model jets – even though I was pretty terrible at it. Impatience played a role here. The application of the decals was my favourite part. After the baffling construction and tedious glue-drying phase was over, I could kit them out in their squadron’s livery and get to dogfighting them around the house. Tūī, by my observation, are nutters and show-offs – quite like daredevil fighter pilots – and I took it upon myself to design a fantastical decal set to celebrate that.

Taking cues from military fighter planes’ ‘low visibility’ grey-on-grey paint jobs, these are screenprinted in metallic silver on beautiful 270 gsm Mohawk Via Felt paper stock, in an edition of 40 in each colourway. 

Hand embossed, signed and numbered.
