Try contacting MicroScale. I've never heard of them doing any Z stuff but then again few people know they did 1:144 scale Navy aircraft decals either and I've purchased several sets in the past. It's worth a shot and maybe they can do them by special order. Should be just a simple matter of them reprogramming the printers sizes.

Foothill RailsMicroscale hasn't made aircraft decals in over a decade, when the company was split between SuperScale, which took over the aircraft stuff, and Microscale. Today, they do print aircraft and other non-railroad decals, but they are all contract print jobs for other companies. For example, next time you open a pack of aftermarket airplane or race car decals, take a good look at them to see the name of the company that printed them. ;) They can, and do, custom decal jobs for private individuals or small companies, but they are large press runs of around 250-500 sheets (minimum). Their decals are made by silk-screening, and it isn't quite as easy as one would think for them to make things in different scales.
