Life L190 sponsors help

Post by Jeff_G »

Hello.

I am currently working on the AMC Life L190 kit. The decals included are not the greatest, and I am going to have new ones made. The Life car varied in sponsor decals for almost every prequalifying it flunked out of.

I am focusing on the French GP from 1990, and I need help with one sponsor decal (not included in the AMC kit).

For the French and British GP, Noberasco was a sponsor. I have googled and googled, but cannot figure out what the slogan is at the bottom of the decal. Rally cars were also sponsored by Noberasco, but a different slogan was used.

Does anyone have a high res picture of this car at Silverstone or Paul Ricard?

Here you go Jeff - I would be interested in a decalsheet also, if you are going to have one made. I'd be happy to pay for it, or share the cost of having it done :)

That is an awesome pic even without the clear Noberasco logo! Thank you so much!

I will let you know about my progress in creating a decal sheet. I'm not sure if I'm just going to just have the few missing logos printed, or do the whole thing.

Let's see some pictures! Imgur works great.

What red paint did you use?

Hello Jeff,

Here are some pictures that I took 2 years ago, I hope it can be helpful to build your kit, I try to post with the Goopics host, then I don’t know for how long they will be available.

Thanks Franck! The problem with having such great reference pictures is finding new areas that need extra work! :lol:

I will certainly use the pictures you provided. They are greatly appreciated.
