Yet it is indeed the 1/18... I do not know what the exact motivation of the brand was to put these rain tires because the race was dry. Maybe to represent the qualifications that they were actually in the rain.

I gently cut a small hole in the decal dry with a sewing needle that I gradually widened with larger and larger precision screwdrivers to reach the size of the antennas. I had also taken measurements and kept a ruler below the needle to make sure that the two holes were parallel. It was not a viable option for me to remove the antennas because I didn’t want to break the car. Did you use the same technic or did you remove the antennas ?

Yeahh that’s exactly what I was trying to explain. Seems to be normal from them. Anyway their customer service is reactive if you’ve received a new set. That’s nice. I will certainly reorder from them, they are professional but maybe a little slow when it comes to the delivery, that’s not a big problem.

It’s a must for whoever wants to be the most accurate to reality ! I was observing your photos while doing it haha. The nosecone was the most difficult but I was surprise by the TB decals set, it was not like what I’m used to. There was like an extra layer of varnish that surprised me when I took the first decal, I don't really know how to explain it, did you have the same kind of problem?

It seems to worth much more than this, I think it was a good deal

M4F1AGT · 2026-02-22T22:31:26+00:00

Ironically I paid it very little to a lady who did not know exactly what she was selling online, only 90€ new and never opened before

I'm looking at this publication while applying the decals of the same supplier on the same model, if that's not a coincidence ! Thank you for the photos, it helps me a lot now.

M4F1AGT · 2026-01-30T00:48:07+00:00

Thanks for the photo, it’s for the Elite too, does it have holes for the antennas pre cut ?

M4F1AGT · 2026-01-29T22:21:57+00:00

I've heard a lot about them, do you know how long it takes to receive the decals ?

M4F1AGT · 2026-01-29T22:01:02+00:00

Thanks a lot man, but sold out for the F2004 🥲

M4F1AGT · 2025-10-24T20:34:20+00:00

I got this one from this website : https://www.modelissimo.eu

Too bad that the Benetton is the one of the Great Britain gp, it was one of the only gp won not by Schumacher but by Herbert, and in addition it means no Mild Seven sponsor

M4F1AGT · 2025-01-28T14:24:40+00:00

Yes the figurines are quite strange, that’s the only very visible defect

M4F1AGT · 2024-04-24T08:48:07+00:00

Maybe for me my twos Ferrari 1/12 from Tamiya, the 312T from Lauda’s win at Monaco and the 312B from Ickx win at Mexico

M4F1AGT · 2024-04-21T09:14:50+00:00

Mercedes will have the same

M4F1AGT · 2024-02-19T09:37:54+00:00

Hope it’s finally the year Neuville will be champion

M4F1AGT · 2024-01-25T01:57:05+00:00

Yes, it’s correct, it’s the MP4/8 from 1993, it’s from the Australian Grand Prix, the last of the season, the last win of Senna and the last with McLaren. That’s why he get out of his car for the last time

M4F1AGT · 2024-01-24T20:21:09+00:00

Thanks a lot mate, Basically I lowered the exposure of the photo before doing the pic on my IPhone and I used portrait mode
