These decals I've bought them on Ebay. They cost $15.00

The brown paint was made on an enamel base and I followed the Tameo's reference Brabham kit. As for the other colors, I mainly used Tamiya paints.
At the end I applied 2k varnish (matt and glossy).
Extras were the tire valves, braided cables and home made decals for the tires.

After sanding Gdyear and applying the Fstone decals I applied a matt varnish on top.

Best Regards
