Decals for the red Imperial Lotus 78

Post by Orso »

I want to build the red Lotus again. I'm not happy with my old build. It was the old 1/20 scale kit with the electric engine that make the model look bad. The paint job wasn't the best and the decals from Studio 27 were to small for the side pods.
So with the Studio 27 decals in the no go file what are the options. Which 1/20 decals are best? I notice that Tabu made several versions.

The Imperial text look much to small compared to the real car

I took a chance and bought the Shunko Models decals and they are clearly larger that the Studio27 sheet
