Anyone knows where can I find Carrera Panamericana decals to fit the Jimmy Flintstone Porsche 550 ?

Scale Designs should have several of the Pan Americana pre A 356's available next month followed by more Pan Am cars in a few months. They are printed by Cartograf and will be available starting at Ferrari Expo 2011 on March 19th. I might be doing a kit for one of the cars. The Jimmy Flinstone 550(H model resin copy) is a customer car and is almost completly different than the cars that ran at PA in 1953 and 1954.

If you have the means, you could make them yourself. It takes some experimentation, but you end up with a one-of-a-kind model. I made these decals using Microsoft Powerpoint fonts and from pictures of the actual car markings and from searching for picture and logo files on the internet. I printed them using a color laserjet printer and Papilio decal paper. The decal film was on the thick side, but I am satisfied with the results:

And you did an excellent job, if I may say so.:iceslolan

I remember following your build on this car sometime ago, don't even remember if it was at this forum, but it sure got my atention then.

Could you refresh my memory and tell us what was the base model you have used?

Congratulations, it is a beautifull model. I am now just one of the many eagerly awaiting for the new decals on the Panamericana.
