Any idea what kit these decals are for?

Post by johnf »

I bought several aftermarket decal sheets for my various Tamiya kits, and one of the sheets is a set of decals that I'm not sure what kit they are intended for. The person I bought the collection from couldn't remember what kit they were for either. There is no identifying markings on the sheet. I believe they're for a 1/12 scale kit as they are quite a bit larger than the 1/20 scale decals I bought.

I think they may be for the 1/12 Willams kit, but that's just a guess. I don't have a need for them, but just curious what they are for.

thanks,
john

Interestingly these looked familiar to me. I dug through my stash and found I have 4 sets of them. I bought them a long time ago, when a now defunct decal maker sold off his entire stock of tobacco markings. I couldn't find anything other than the white Renault decal on the sheet and 1/20 written on the package. From that I would suspect that they are for one of the Williams Tamiyas.

You can also use them on the Benetton and Lotus cars...

It seems that the FW15c and B193 may have some special camel markings.

I can't find bigger picture of it.

What scale are they? If they are 1:20 it might be Benetton B192 and 193 as well as FW 14B, these teams run a few grand prix with the "Racing service" underneeth the Camel. But serveral Rally cars had this racing service too, so it would help to know the scale.

I believe they're 1/12. I'm going to get my 1/20 Camel decals I have for my Lotus 99t to compare, but I'm pretty sure they're 1/12.

I guess these are FW 14b decals if not 1:20, 99T should be straight letters, much smaller and none bended, only rear wing is bended, 99T has a silver outline to the letters too.

RACING SERVICE was not used on Benetton, but you could cut that wording
if you wanted to use them on a Benetton... :D
