1/12th Tamiya Wolf WR-1 decals needed

Post by tenore »

I recently acquired a 1/12th Tamiya Wolf WR-1 kit and tonight I tried to put one of the instrument dials on the panel and it went to pieces. I am fairly certain now that the rest of the decals are not going to cooperate either. I thought about leaving it on the backing, but tried to use as intended with bad results.
Does anyone know where I could find replacements? I have looked online at several sites and everyone is out of stock. I am planning to model the dark blue one, not the Theodore.

Thanks for your help.

FYI, these are about as close as you are going to get to the gold used on this ride. I highly recommend them, plus the # of versions far outweigh any others, that will limit you to one ride. Just my 2 cents worth.

I agree.. I received these from Wim last week and they look GREAT.!
And as far as Indycals...I think I read somewhere that Michael isn't doing metallics anymore....Michael ??

No, not doing metallics, but the color I'm using really pops. I have a standard I use to decide if I'll sell decals - they must meet my own personal standards and be something I would use on one of my builds - this meets that standard. But everyone has different standards. I've seen people demand more, and I've seen people settle for a LOT less than what I offer. I've built variations of this car many times and honestly I think these look great even if they aren't metallic. And if you've seen the restored car it isn't very metallic to begin with (granted, it's restored, I don't know how accurate it is since I never saw the car back in the day).

Thanks for the heads up on correct color. I do agree, your example does look spot on, to the version I have seen as well, and yes it was a restore.

Tenore,
Will check I think I have two kits in 1/12
Walter Wolf kits
both with decals I used one kit for a Ligier JS11 build just the engine and some gearbox parts so I think the decals are complete.
Where abouts are you?

Hey All! I appreciate your responses. Last night I was in the dungeon working a bit and discovered much to my joy, that there were two sets of decals, one still sealed in it's little plastic womb. So I am going to see if they are better than the others.
