I saw on HobbyLink ScaleMotorsport was doing carbon fibre template and photo-etch as well......
Any ideas... or thoughts?

Re: Scale MotorSport - Tamiya F60
My thoughts - slow, too late for me. Hopefully PE will be worth the wait for those who have
not built their F60 kits yet. Have no personal experience with their PE or template sets.
Modern SMS CF decals are great, imho.
I wish SMS had an early access to future releases, similar to what Japanese companies
seems to have. So SMS sets could come out on time for builds of recent models. By
the time they will release their Lotus 79 set, most of us will finish our builds.

I've bought several templates for different cars and they were ALL inaccurate (Mercedes CLK GTR, Ferrari F2000, etc). It would be FAR more accurate to use scotch tape and make your own. Cheaper, too. Just my experiences.

Re: Scale MotorSport - Tamiya F60
I agree with previous posts. I bought the FW24 CF template set and it didn't fit well at all. I wondered if I was supposed to wrap the excess around the part. I would try any SM Photo etch set, but not any more CF templates.
