Don't know how the originals looks like but the decal set from Marwan was not a matter of give and take a mm! If you take a close look to my photos you can see that the entire black section from the big side decal (both sides) was removed, due to size issues. I tried 20 methods to fit the "original" decal without cutting, but this was impossible!

Maybe I can help you out with the missing red kyosho decal! Are you in the need of a small or a big kyosho decal?

If you use a normal hairdryer, they stick on curves and all surfaces. I did this with all the decals from Marwan and they are still on spot like the first minute.

Well, Thank you very much!

I have both the original box side stripes and the repro's and they are the same size...I've been putting off these final sections as no matter how you look at it to get a good fit the decal (black section) has to be trimmed.

I'm missing the small red Kyosho under the screen, unfortunately I've already improvised and filled that spot...thanks for the offer, I suppose I could adjust the locations slightly.

Regards

What an amazing collection, inspires me to do mine. Must have taken you years finding all those new parts (for all cars) ?

Would you mind telling me which yellow paint you used for the Mid Turbo? Looks bang on.

No problem, I used Tamiya PS-6 for the Turbo Optima Mid.
