Afterburner Decals was founded in 2005 by Mike Reeves and Scott Brown and is the result of a lifelong passion for military aviation and building models. It is managed by Scott Brown and Geoff Martin with the assistance of artist Shawn Hull.

Scott Brown lives in Houston, Texas and works as a Firefighter/Paramedic. He and his wife Tracy have a daughter, Reagan.  

 Geoff Martin lives is Burtonsville, Maryland and works in the adult beverage industry as an area manager. He attended the University of Maryland and majored in art.

We noticed more and more that we were disappointed in the selection of both contemporary and past era jet subjects available in the market today. After many phone calls about it, we have created this little labor of love to provide you, the modeler, with a wide range of interesting subjects to fuel your own passion for military jets.

We are avid modelers, and as "one of you" understand what we as consumers like in the products that we buy ourselves, and try our best to produce them for you.

One of our main goals and founding principles is to listen to our customers and give them what they want. Neither of us considers ourselves "experts" and we will always rely on the people that we know now, and the ones that we hope to get to know in the future to provide us with inspiration and guidance. We want to make the best decals money can buy, and to do so, we need reference. Both of us have shot hundreds of pictures of jets, and have collected many thousands more. If you have a subject that you are passionate about, get us the refs and maybe your passion will infect us as well! We are always on the prowl for new subjects, and since there are way more of you than there are of us, the vast majority of our reference comes from the outside, especially from a dedicated group of professional photographers who keep us in mind when they go on photo trips and allow us to use their labors. We'd also like to acknowlege the assistance we recieve from the fantastic folks in the military. You'll notice more often than not that the names on the "Special Thanks" sections on the sheet instructions are the same ones on the sides of the jets. This makes maintaining the level of accuracy we strive for possible. Without this kind of help, the task of researching the subjects becomes exceedingly difficult.

Alright then....let’s build some jets!
