yeah some of the sticker sheets have 2 teams on them.

BMW were supplying engines to williams for a few years then bmw went there seperate ways and decided to take over sauber in 2006.
so williams used Cosworth engines.

Hello idwerks, Outstanding F201 bodies! The AMS # 8329 sheet has decals for 2007 Renault and Williams. Rainbow Ten's site leaves a little bit to be desired but the service is first rate! You can sometimes get AMS decals from Jason's Store on E-bay. He is an Aussie living in Japan so no language issues.
You can also get 1/10 ( and other scales) decals from Bruce @ http://members.optushome.com.au/pattosplace/home.html.

Bruce is very reliable and fair to do business with. His stuff is not mass produced so is a bit more expensive but 08 Cars are available. He also does a lot of other decals sets as well. Andy Wallace Carbondale, IL.

Sweet! Thanks for the headsup. I will email him after he gets back from his vacation or whatever he is on =) Thank you! Im also waiting on a reply from Rainbow 10 too. We'll see how that works out.

Do you think you can find a link to Jasons Store on ebay?

Great pics idwurks! Hope to hear back from you with regards to the decals and hopefully with some pics

Now how about getting the Tamiya Williams body set to slap these decals on, where can one find them?

There are a few places I have seen that carry those bodys still. If I can just remember now.... I am pretty sure www.Speedtechrc.com had them - but I couldnt find them the other day. You can also check www.Dinball.com. They have a TON of F1 stuff. And Ive ordered from them and they are A+ service. I also love shopping on ebay for the f201 - honestly ebay has soooo many parts. Just yesterday I found a carbon body set on ebay.uk for about $20.

Ill take a pic of my car =) I dont have much yet - and those pics arent of any work I have done personally - just pictures of cars over the years that have inspired me. And thats about 1/5 of my stash =)

I was lucky enough to claim 2 of the few MLP F1 bodies - and I also have 2 sets of bargeboards for them - so thats why i need some decals!

Here are some pics of some of my stuff atm. Nothing crazy but... i have some spares. I am actually looking for a chevron real driver and a roll hoop camera.

If you really wanted this Williams body - we could trade for something... Its not perfectly colormatched - but its never been run.

Holy crap! Alphacat, did you see those bodies idwurks did? I'm so embarassed. I can do one out of the box and people will walk up and say "dude, was anyone else hurt in that wreck?" Of course there is still the problem of everyone dogpiling on my car at the finish. Let's get this guy out here for a remedial painting class at the F1 Cup race!

What I need is foam on the outside. I need to stop these yayhoos from ramming my car after each race. Are you listening Dex?

LOL it sounds like you need a ramming body rather than a nice one for racing

I've actually thought about putting duct tape on the chassis and sticking a number on it. I guess that's what I get for racing against the same people for 25 years.
