    I ruined the fragile "SHELL" and "VODAFONE" decals on my 2006 F248 F1 in 1:18. I am hoping someone out there might know of a place or person that I can purchase the decals from. I need both sides of the car. I have looked all over and I see several tobacco decal sheats but none include the shell and the vodafone decals. I hope I don't have to buy a new car.
    Thanks for any help

    Don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but any of the sheets I have seen do not have the Shell and Vodaphone markings as these do not need to be replaced when converting to full livery.

    If you try wallmart or target you can find some LEGO cars that have peel and stick markings inside. they are not going to be perfect but may save the day. You can be a bad boy and just take the sticker sheet from the box.

    You could always try doing it yourself, if you have a printer. Hit ebay for some waterslide paper and use Photoshop/ other editing tool to create the design. I'd be happy to try it for you, can't guarantee results, about to try it myself(once I get Photoshop reinstalled(just cleaned pc:) )), but at the least it's a cheap alternative.

    Thanks for the replies. I found a guy in Australia that has scale sheats of both but they are not the right shade and outline. If I tried my own prints, how in the world do you figure the decals in 1:18 scale? Maybe I'll contact Mattel and see if they can help. If not, I got a 248 real cheap if anyone's interested. Little winglets on engine cover already painted red. Some livery already competed.
