Phil, from what I understand from Tamiya's site, those are the only teams there are decals for.
I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of Studio27 or some other after-market seller producing decals for the other teams though.

I got my set yesterday. I'm probably going to try and do a DTM garage scene with them. Good work from Tamiya once again. I wish they will do a 1/20th mechanics set for the Ferrari/Williams kits.

They do have 1/20 fI mechanic figures available I have used them, they were originally for ferrari and brabham of the seventies. If you see the kit you know what I mean, the figures have big hair and flared pants! :biggrin:
But I made Brabham uniform decals for the 82 F1 season (some research was required) check out the diorama

The actual series is discontiued (I do believe) but you can find some stocks around. At this site I found has both the Pit team and the changing tyre team!!!!!!!!!

I've seen those figures from the 80's. I've thought about giving them a try when they were available, but there was so much work involved to 'modernise' them!

I should report that post to the moderator for laziness!!

I love doing dioramas
I just start with a "from the box model" and 2 months later I have molded men, spotlights, trees, rocks and and safety guys shooing away camara men!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't leave well enough alone!
My present Ford Focus diorama is behind by months....
Open engine bay, car on jacks and mecahnics milling around while Colin Mcrae looks disquieted with a wet towel around his neck!!!!!
All in my head:dogpile:
