Hi,

I am doing my research for parts and tools for my future Senna build
And trying to get hold of the more rare parts first before I invest in the actual kit, the decals

While I could find all Marlboro decals in a local shop, the rest of the Carbon decals for the rest of the car are all out of stock everywhere it seems...

And I wondered if there are alternatives that can be used?
Like how about the Tamiya carbon decals?

When the monocoque is finished in yellow/gold, and then a carbon decal is put over it, would you still see the color finish?

I suppose the intended original decals are somewhat see through when looking at some diary builds...


But will the Tamiya decals cover the paintwork completely? that I do not know.

Anyone have a clue on this subject?
Because I see many use the intended decals from Museum Collection or use nothing at all.

I could wait till the Musum Collection decals came back in stock too, but I dunno how long thats gonna take....


Thx!

like I said, I could find the Marlboro decals, they were from Autograph.

I was informing about the Carbon decals from "Museum Collection"




The question was if the gold would be seen through the any other carbon decals...
So yeah, I could do all the cutting out myself from any other sheet of carbon, but if I dont see the gold through it, I might as well not color the monocoque.

So that was my question.


Ow well, it seems nobody has done it and I migth as well wait till the carbon pieces from "Museum Collection" come back in stock.


The show where I found the Autograph Marlboro decals ordered the "Museum Collection" carbon decals and said it could take 6-8 weeks.

And when looking at Hobbylink, it seems the status of the decals are changed from "out of stock" to "backordered" today, when I asked about those parts at my shop.
Coincidence or not, dunno, but a good thing :)
