Unlike the one shown on the fancy box. These do not come with masks or stickers.
If anyone has the stickers, could the scan it and mail or post it for me? I am not sure they would fit my version of the body but it would be a starting point.

Window masks sure would be awesome. I would love if someone has a sticker set sheet that they could make a high-res scan. Then we could print them out on a color laser on sticker paper. Even just the window masks onto paper sticker paper would be a huge help.

Thx

I did this 240z for a friend and the window trim decals came in handy. The rest of the decals were pretty cheesy :P
I would love to do a roadster some day

It's not that hard Sid - you can do it. With the masks and decals you're basically only spraying a color or two and it's easy. You spray the inside of the body and the outside is covered with a very thin shrink wrap that you peel off after you are done painting.

How hard would it be to recreate one of these?

Pretty hard. I think the male form is some kind of solid block of metal and the lexan is vacuum formed down around it. Including all the little panel lines, etc.

Congrats on the major score! It sounds like the request is out to copy the decals and Window masks - time for a nice hi-res scan!

Hi Guys,

I'll check on this stuff this weekend. They are both 1/10 scale bodies.

Regarding the wheels, you can get Panasport, Lemans, and Libre wheels in 1/12 and I think you can get them in 1/10 too. HPI makes some and ABC too.

The ABC 1/12 BRE kits come with Libre wheels - http://abchobbyusa.com/search.aspx?find=bre" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here are some 1/10 scale HPI Lemans wheels
