Segafredo decal on FW16 (Cartograf)
According to the builds I have seen by other modelers, it seems pretty clear to me that the Segafredo decals on the Fujimi Williams FW16 are too big to properly fit within the blue area:
I have come across a Cartograf sheet for FW16, but before buying it I would like to know if anyone has used it before and make sure that the Segafredo decal is smaller than the kit's. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks for checking Wim. When I get back home I will check the size on the kit decal. Unfortunately over here I cannot find the Tabu decals for FW16 but only Cartograf. In the end if the size are the same I will make my own decal!bestbalsakits wrote:on tabu's sheet, logos are 19mm*13mm

Indycals has a sheet for the FW16 that fixes this issue iirc.

Thanks Jaykay, if cannot find anything nearer and no one can confirm the Cartograf decals then I will contact Michael from Indycals.

I have just measured the Segafredo decals in the Fujimi kit: 17.5x12mm....how comes they are smaller than Tabu's decals?

Because Tabu/S27 have a history of getting sizes of things wrong... Not so unusual for them unfortunately.

I believe Fujimi fixed the issue on later releases possibly.Corpsegrinder wrote:Corpsegrinder wrote:Thanks for checking Wim. When I get back home I will check the size on the kit decal.

Really? That'd be great, I bought mine 2 years ago,who knows when they fixed them?stubeck wrote:

If your suggestion is correct, then I will paint it and when I get to the decals stage, I will try with a photocopied logo of Segafredo and ... pray!

If Scalemates is to be belived, there is a rebox in 2012. I believe the Pacific kit had smaller decals for this, and then they brought this to the other ones.
