Carbon decal sheets

Post by NellyTF »

Hi Folks.

Does anyone know what the “graduation pattern” is on the carbon decals for the Tamiya 1/12 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR and where I can get decal sheets from?

I think it's that there are different styles of carbon fibre depending on the weave. The diagonal one seems most common to me. The set Gary suggested seems to have multiple styles and I'm pretty tempted myself.

The sheet carry suggested would be the way to go, both Tamiya so should match! I've used the Tamiya stuff exclusively until my current build and it goes down well and reacts to microsol lovely!

Yeah I've used the Tamiya stuff as well, MUCH better than the Tamiya decal sheets that come with their kits, it goes down lovely with some setting solution.
