  • I suggest that you use the same techniques used for vehicle wraps.  Measure the width and height of the entire model and the specific area for the decal,. (door) what ever. 

    Take the best centered perspective photo of the model you can, using the view where the decal is to be placed and import that into CorelDRAW and center the image into a rectangle you create in Draw the size of the measurements that you took of the model.

    You may want to create a rectangle of the specific area where the decal will go to double check sizing and make corrections, remember the rectangle will be correct the image is just a visual scale guide.

    Newer versions of Draw allow for perspective correction.  Then just create you decal and place in on the imported image as a check. You now are ready to go into the vehicle wrap graphic creation business.  On real vehicles it's a bit more detailed accounting for concaves and curves.
