looks like mine without decals ;D but well done. Colour is matching a bit better than mine. What colour ist that? As far as i know the original is a porsche colour. but not even the painter of the original hafsengen escort would have told me what exact color it is

i painted the decals by myself with corel. after that a printery printed them on decal-paper, because no normal printer can print silver

I got it. But as u know, they werent printed by myself. Everything i could do ist look for my template on my harddisk.

The Decals themselves were printed by fritzsche-modellbau in augsburg/germany. Probably he can print that for you. I have to call him for other decals, so i can ask if he has my template on his pc. would be the easiest way for you i think
