I was told there were only 100 made. Whether these were 100 of each driver or 100 in total, I don't know.

Not sure what driver to do yet, I’m thinking of doing both Alain Menu and Colin McRae. Started with a Minichamps base, had to de-decal it, then respray it. Have started to decal it, just need to do the front end and the windows and add the correct numbers. Hope these are of some interest!
Here's another picture!
Looks good.. how did you remove the decals and why did you need to re-paint it white?
Thanks, I found that some were decals and some of the car was painted. I used WD40 to remove the decals it had, then had to T-Cut the rest. The problem was in some places it went to bare metal and in the corners I couldn't remove all the paint (Original car was white, but had alot of blue and red along the sides), hence the respray.Quote:

I have just started to make a Mat Jackson BMW. Just need to sort the decalling out, I have a good friend helping me at the moment!
All the original decals came off no-problem, so no need to paint the car.
BTW, I never used WD-40 before..
I didn't know that until I tried getting them off. I presumed they were all waterslide from my Tamiya kit days!Quote:

I haven't tried making my own decals yet, but was thinking of scanning and printing my own, but I'm going for the easier ones for the time being.

How is making your own decals going? Have you sorted the decals sticking on to the paper yet?Quote:
