Of course you could use Piki's (Diego  ... AKA Redice sponsor on this forum!) decals instead

He does a good discount for members and his decals are spot on.

I know painting is more authentic but decals done correctly probably look a lot better than painted on gone slightly wrong.

Maybe somebody has used them ? After all, everyone uses decals on the 400F2 tanks that I know of.

That's only the stripes though but my experience is painting the black on isn't too difficult. You can get jet black base-coat from paint suppliers (like BMW use on cars). The base-coat dries matt/satin but as soon as you hit it with decent 2k clear it shines beautifully.

Will get some of this. Bought a can of 1k lacquer to experiment with. Trying to find how much of the black finish is down to the basecoat or the lacquer finish.
Looking at the black on one of Menno's tanks, I can't hope to replicate that!

Just an update, I contacted Marque Restore in Coventry. They have quoted me £42 plus vat each for the headlight ears.
The good thing is, you can book your place in the queue for a deposit of £50 plus vat. So I have booked my spot and they will contact me about a week before it’s my turn. I then send them off and two or three weeks later I get them back.
They say my slot will be around end of June which isn’t too bad.
I’ll post pics when done.

Thanks Ash for the recommendation.

Just took a look at the part on CMSL ( why you not do this before I hear someone say  ;D ) It seems they start out as BZP, I can see myself stripping the paint and polishing things up, and then finding out why they end up being painted?  :-\
