It pulled my rear pivotball out of the lower arm and was out for the remainder. I was mainly there to test out different compounds of monotuning tires and i tried different set ups on the car trying to get it dialed for the region 4 race in June. I guess i better have better luck next time

Yes, it's based on a real colour scheme.
I have a 1:18 die-cast McLaren with that paint scheme that I've been dying to paint for a long long time. The original car with that paint scheme was an earlier "short-tail" McLaren, so I had to adapt the paint scheme slightly. The decaling is somewhat based on the original "short-tail" car and also a "long-tail" car.
The part that sucks is that the Kyosho decal sheets that I used for the decals and masking are no longer available, so I cannot make this paint scheme again with the proper decaling.
Glad you all like it... it was 'fun' to do.

Regarding the decals - this is a really long-shot, but http://www.grandprixmodels.co.uk/ deal a lot with rare models - perhaps they would be able to help locate 1/10th scale decals of the nature you require.
They only deal with precise scale display models, but these guys know their business and if there are some decals around they'd know - I wouldn't mention cars like Serpent or Kyosho, it'd probably confuse the hell out of them

Well, one can only plan ... although the forecast for Nurnberg does not look that good. Let's hope the silly program on my site is wrong!
