Yes, spotted the MP4/6 - good news for people needing the bodyset for a restoration.

The Yardley re-release should mean Carto decals? I can replace the yellow originals in my kit...

The Ickx car is 1973. The Tamiya kit is 1974.

Yeah, But i got an old yardley version as well, so maybe tabu or studio27 makes a decalset for the 1973.

Funny - but I had exactly the same idea. MFH have already done all those decals in 1:20. So it is just a question redoing that in 1:12.

Indycals has a set for the 1973 Yardley -- Revson and Scheckter but I don't think Ickx.

I would expect that Tabu and MC will release decals to cover the '73 and '74 Yardley cars. You can get the '73 airbox from Macs Modeling. Don't know what other major differences there are between the two cars.

Given the success with the 1:12 Texaco transkit, that they would be interested in doing something for this kit as well. As Allnie says, it would be easy to scale-up the decals from the 1:20 transkit.
