No neither have Tobacco sponsorship on them. To be honest i have never even thought about this before, i just buy F1 cars because i like the paint schemes, unlike my BTCC collection. I have wanted the Stewart for years, like i also want a 96 Jordan, both is down to the paint schemes as much as the driver or car.
As for adding decals, i have never done that myself, not on a diecast model, but i am sure it would be easy enough, i beleive the decals are exactly the same as Airfix kits for example, put the desired decall into warm water and apply with tweezers, easy enough.
I thought about this tobacco thing for a second and just had a look at my collection, not one of them has any tobacco sponsorship on them, the Williams Renaults in particular do look 'naked' without the old Rothmans sponsorship. I feel cheated now

I've just finished my first ever model of an F1 car, the Ferrari F1-2000 (1/20) from Tamiya.
The decals are by far the most challenging thing on these models.
I'm thinking about applying clear lack on it, but not sure about the result, could someone tell me if it's worth?
Now I'll take on the next one, Auto Union Type D (1/32 Revell), looks like a very difficult one to me.

Everything I post is my own opinion and I\'ll always try to back it up! :)

I did one before In Tamiya Gloss Clear and the decals cracked and yellowed in time as described above. I since re-made this model.Ayrton Senna Is the one true GOD!

Have you ever heard of Micro - Sol and Micro - Set these are what have been recomended to me, and these are the two things i am on the look out for.
Is this the year Leclerc gets to end his Monaco 'jinx'? The 26-year-old has yet to stand on his home podium in five attempts, four with Ferrari, but he can end that 'jinx' on Sunday. Published May...
