Just wondering where can i get some Benson And Hedges logos for my 1:18 scale 2003 Fisichella Hotwheels car as it looks crap with the tobacco decals. I know there was a guy that had a website who was in Oz who did it but i can remember what the website was. His name was Chris.

www.Tomotorsport.com will be able to help you with your desire to enhance your model.
They have a large range available for most F1 cars.

You're right his name is Chris Bowden. I used to look at his website all the time. Now I tried to find it I can't. Can't even remember the web address.

You also were able to get a link to his page from another link page on the Toronto Motorsports site, but I checked that page and the link to Chris's site has been removed. :confused:

If I think of it I'll let you know.

I just finnished the hotwheels Renault 2003 and the difference is Large ,the model of the year before was done by UH and I did find a decal set inside the packaging, which made it very easy to upspec.
These 2 models do look the par now with the correct livery.
I still have to do the Ferrari F2003GA as this is a bigger job.
To see all the cars 1/18 Ferrari's with the correct livery on is just very nice, as without they look shocking.

This law is ridiculous with no tobacco sponsorship on model cars!!! The more I read about it the more it gives me the s---- We should not have to source decals to make the cars look like how they raced. :mad:

That's my dummy spit for the day......sorry.

I do use Nail varnish remover and lots of Q tips to get a clean worksurface.
That is on the Hotwheels ferrari, I have not bothered to convert the Jordans from Hotwheels.

Agree with FF , toronto motorsports sell some of the best decals,they go on well and look great, usually get a set into the country for less than 20 bucks , cant argue with that especially compared to the prices one Sydney shop charges for BBR decals which are good but MARKSMAN ( the brand sold by tomotorsports)decals from Canada are way better I've used about 10 sets for various Ferraris and I love 'em .
