Noticed 1 side off my 1/18 purple XY GTHO is missing the little super roo decal, on front left guard.
Does anyone else have this problem with their GT?
Anyone know where I can get a super roo decal?
Thanks

Does the missing decal make them more valuable if not all models have the 'problem'??:confused:

I can't see that making them more valuable. Does anyone out there have one with the decal intact? Maybe they all don't have it.

My better half has a 1/18 Ultra White XY with a very crooked superoo decal on the left side...It might be due to the fact that they are a water transfer and had trouble adhereing at the time of manufacture. My 65E dropped its 'FORD' blue oval in the cabinet ond day for no apparent reason, just re-wet it and placed it back on the rear number plate the front one did the same a month or so later.
It was a good move going to the tampa signage on the Brock 28c...no more walk about transfers :)

Yep, my Super Roo decal has gone walkabout from the left side of my Wild Violet XY GTHO as well.

As Three_O_seven pointed out, my 65E Moffat XY also dropped its FORD decals from the front & rear number plates.

These were easily re-applied with a H2O / PVA glue mixture.

Sorry to bring up a REALLY old thread, but I just received my Wild Violet today and noticed something in the bottom of the box.

Lo and behold it was a Super Roo decal. I placed it in the boot for safekeeping. All of a sudden, I remembered this age-old thread.

I believe at least one person out here has reaffixed it. Is this true? Has anyone else had luck doing this?

For the record, mine dropped off the driver's side panel.

Sorry all. Totally missed the post that suggested wetting it and re-applying. It worked like a charm!

darn i wish i hadnt read this, and i proably wouldnt have noticed my wild violet is missing the superoo on the left front fender. the box is in my building some were i dont think i will dig it out any time soon, proably to be dissapointed. my vermillion fire, yellow ochre and 65e still have there superoo,s intact. i may put a little clear coat over these decals or clear finger nail polish works just as well. they want fall off any more!!! i wonder if anyone would notice if i put a superbee decal were the superoo decal was!!!:D
