1/12 Lotus JPS decal source?
I am looking for a source for the JPS decals to upgrade the "politically correct" Tamiya 1/12 Lotus 78 kit.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would be also interested in knowing what other upgrade options/after market parts are available for this kit. Any help will be much appreciated

Do you happen to have any idea which of them (either the Indycal or MSM decals) are superior with regards color? Or are both good?

The stripes are not yellow or gold on the real car...and I can't tell what MSM used.

I thought the real color was the "gold foil" that is used by one of the decal sets. I am in need of a set of decals as well, having just picked up this kit... |

No, that's a common thought though. You can see in this pic the color is tan-ish or biscuit.

Just so we're clear, that pic is a Lotus 79, not a 78, although the color will still be the "Biscuit" hue mentioned.
