Free Kit!

I thought that would have you all clicking!

Very strange! Went into my local model shop today to buy Heep's Tamiya masking tape, and as I am paying the guy (Nick) says "You're into F1 aren't you?!"
"Yeah!" I say surprised!
He walks off, and comes back with the Tamiya McLaren MP4/13 kit!
"Do you want this? I was going to chuck it as it has no decals, but you can have it if you want!"

SO I spent £11.99 and walked out with a kit worth £19.99!
Yeah, so it has no decals, but even so! Cool!

So my question is, what do I do with it?

"Give it to me!" is not an option, but what do you guys reckon? Could I get a whole decal sheet from an after market company?
Should I go for a full carbon body? Your views?

You are one lucky bugger !!!

I'd hunt down for some after market decals.

Better still....build your own custom "TEAM GUIDDY RACING" car !!!

I found a site that has "West Test Car Decals for the Tamiya MP4/13" for $10.

Look here.

What's the test car look like? The only pic they show is the same as the one you posted already. They also have a photo etched set and a templated carbon fiber decal set for the MP4/13 listed.

I say you paint it yellow and put a fat "Type-R" sticker on it.

I'm not sure these are for all decals, but it's something. And you can order it together with a Primera that I intend to order through you in the most near future...

Ales! They are only add ons to the Standard decals!
Jay's post with the test decals are the biggest help yet!
I don't plan to make the kit! It's a McLaren and I am a Ferrari fan!
Just need to complete the package before I swap it for something!
