Hoping someone might have some spare F1 decals for a McLaren/ Mercedes.
Black, Silver & Red scheme, think it has Vodaphone, Hugo Boss and Mobil as sponsors.
Don't need the full car set just the sponsors decals really as i'll be painting the scheme in the main.
thanks.
Happy to pay or trade

If in wrong area. Mods please move to correct placement.
I think I'm gonna need a bigger display cabinet!!

I could probably print some for you.

What scale are we talking about and can you give me a link to the car you're talking about please?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

OK, I'm on the case.

There's lots of pics of that car about so it should be reasonably straightforward. I'll PM you after the MK Show once I've got an idea on how to go about it.

Many Thanks Kit, how may I pay you?

Probably the best I could find from a side perspective.
I've got the main painting done it's all the logo's and sponsor gubbings I can't source anywhere.
Ideally i'd like 6 or so Mercedes Badges for wings(upper and lowers) and tailplane , approx. the size of a 1p piece.

Depending on the size of the finished job it may not cost anything. The paper is the prime cost and if it's just a small area it's worth calculating it.

I'll PM you about the sizes of the various decals once I've sorted out the artwork etc.

That's a good pic, and it's one I'd found earlier too. McLaren are always keen on letting the public know what their cars look like from all directions, unlike some of the other F1 teams!

Hi Kit, any updates on decals ?

I'm getting there, albeit slowly.  :-\

Some of them may need to be done in two layers, a white background with the colour layer on top, but that seems to work reasonably well. I've done some like that for Hank, 'Army of one' and Brian 'rickshaw' on here before.

And excellent they were too.   Looking forward to the next lot at the moment.  Monday mail, hey, Kit?  ;)
