Parma has a few decal sets with smaller details. Vinyl shops can clone most if you are looking for authentic.
The wings used to be mounted direct to the chassis, with "piano" wire, given that these bodies came out during the pan car era.
Just keep in mind with a wing they will still be no where as nimble, as the current "slotcar" style bodies.

I don't know where to start on how and where to mount the piano wire.
This is for serpent vector by the way
Thanks

1.5mm
50$ - body, wing and mounts plus the yellow stickers. You see in the pic
89$ - adds headlights window masks and livery stickers.
2mm
50$ - body only
100$ - adds everything else.
Unfortunately I cant recommend this body yet. I got it all painted and trimmed and find out the front sits too high unless I take the body mounts off in the front. Stupid I know I should have fitted it first.
Just waiting on the seller to let me know how he got his on as he used the same car as mind for a template.
Otherwise it's a beautiful well made body!

Ya looks like this won't fit my car. Might go with the Mercedes C for my vector

This looks tempting too. But I don't know what to do with the rest body mounts. Front looks easy
