D1 DRIFT Decals for PRE-ORDER

Guys, in coordination with Spoolin12, we are doing a pre-order for the Custom decals set for A'PEX D1 PROJECT FD3S replicating on 1/24 kit. It is a new DECAL project we are going to work on.

This is the reference photo:

- We are looking for the number of people will be interested in getting this decal.
- The project will be started once we get enough number of people pre-order it.
- Pricing is not determined yet. But will not be at some pricing which broke you.
- This will be a limited release. First come first served.
- It will take approximately 1 month to get the project finished.
- We have not decided to fit which 1/24 Rx-7 model kit.
- Probably it will fit: Tamiya RX-7 FD3s, Fujimi RX-7 FD3s, and Aoshima.
- All FD3S kits need custom modification to replicate the Apex 1:1, or on your favour.
- CF hood decal of the APEX will not be included. However, the tuner decals on the CF hood will be replicated.
- Rx-7 kits, GT wing, rims, parts etc. can be ordered along with the decals.

Just a quick note, we (me and someone on AF) already finished our first full set of racing decals for "secret car" at this moment. Two weeks later, the project of our 1st racing decal will be announced and shown on AF by the "someone". :icon16:

Please PM me for details if you have enquiries. We will keep updating this post to see the progress.

Thanks to:
Spoolin12 <= brilliant, creative, great wise guy, never disappoint me.

We appreciate if you could submit more reference photos for this project. Looking forward to hear from all of you.

Regards,
Joe :sunglasse :sunglasse

There's a nice close-up of the FD here (http://www.urbanracer.com/articles/anmviewer.asp?a=682&z=1)

I am interested. Tell me, how strong are the decals? I haven't seen anyone make really sturdy decals like the companies. The one's I have had experience with tear way too easy and are most of the time a pain in the @ss. With this big of a design I hope they hold up.

Nice..... How about making your next decal project the Signal Auto Drifter Twins decals eh? :iceslolan If you can make it ill pre-order it like that....:iceslolan Good Luck guys!!!:biggrin:

Great Idea

I was going to post those 2 same pictures right now Hiroboy! haha but you got to it before me. :p

BTW Joe will you also be selling the that exact GT wing? I am very interested... :biggrin:

thanks Steve. btw, the decal is on the way to Uk. Let me know when you get it. :)

Hey Shorty, hmmmm, the GT wing I am selling is just the Aoshima GT wing or the FRP Wing. I could try to replicate the wing using styrene. However, I think most of the people here have better skills than me. :D

Joe, I have some D1 projects planned for this year including this one, Its a great looking car that just has to be done!:)

can anyone answer me this, why the hell are all the sponsor decals printed in reverse, i though the whole point of sponsorship was to promote?

great idea for the decals tho, we need more cool decals ou there

Symmetry Chris :smile:

oh right, so on the other side they are all in normal print, hmmm that makes more sense. well thats that one cleared up. (ps i have never seen the other side of these cars)

oh ya. So you mean you will make body kits for those D1 cars?

Wow that's a pretty ambitious project. I wish this had come up a month ago, since I am building an RX-7 inspired by this, but with Cusco decals, and if everything goes right it will be done before these decals are available. Damn. I think I like that freedom, though, so I don't have to replicate a car perfectly. I don't think I have that skill yet, not like FOTW or Subway or Hiroboy.... But anyone interested in building this car might want to watch my build-up since I am taking a lot of technical and design cues from it. But then, a lot of people here have a lot more talent, so maybe they'll watch me and just laugh...

oh ya. So you mean you will make body kits for those D1 cars?

Thats the plan, but also hope to do all accompanying parts too i.e decals, wings etc. Toyota Soarer and RS-R 350Z are a couple of other possibilities i'm keen to do, the bodykit for the later is already done of course.

A Soarer kit would be great, you can get a supra engine for it and now, with one of your creations it will be another complete car w/ engine detail. I'll buy it & the RX-7 when they're ready. Do you plan on making hoods for them also?

I know I personally have been waiting semi-patiently to hear more about your S15 kit you mentioned sometime ago also.

Anyone else interested?

Chris,
I would love to see a few D1 transit kits! :D
Wouldnt mind a HKS S15 :P

hmmm, just around 10 replies......:( It seems not too many people interested in this project. Since the development and creative works for this decal are hugh, and time will be consumed a lot, if there are more people confirm to order the decal, the market price will definitely be cheaper.

*bump* :feedback: :1zhelp:

Oh hells yeah! Put me down. We need more D1 style decals in various styles. I would like to see the '03 Cusco/ Yukes AE86 decals. :iceslolan

Comon guy's, I know there are alot more drifters out there.

:)

Dayum! If I can get some money together I'd definately be interested!

The signal stickers, the kai office silvia....HKS...oh yeah!!!

Ttt :)

i never post here, just browsing through and get some inspiration. my model-building is still newb...
but if a d1 decals coming, i wanna buy it too...
so, i'm in...

I'm interesting too man... DAMN!! I was looking this decals for a while... PLEASE MAKE IT REAL!!!

I hope everyone knows that aoshima is making the vertex FD3S coming out next month. So the decals would be perfect match with it!

Sweet!...PREORDER!!! (http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails_e.asp?Bno=&Typ1_c=102&Typ2_c=106&Typ3_c=118&SPage=1&SC=391&SN=Autos+1%2F24+%28Aoshima%29&It_c=10036807&andor=0&scope=0&scope2=0&thumb=1&sortID=1&urikire=1&sort_sort=0&ItKey=&app_url=shop_right_e.asp) ...That's one t/kit project off the list for this year then. I'd bet money on them bringing out the Apex version too, infact i'm sure its their main motivation for doing it.

Yes!!! Wont have to make my custom body kit afterall. Im probably going to make the VERTEX version car, the green one. :iceslolan

Anyone going for the exact replica of the Apex FD3S? :rolleyes:

And will match with my Skyline, my Cossie, my S14... lol. But, are there some others kit of decals from the D1 Japan Races??

I preordered mine as well. I hope Aoshima makes the whole D1 lineup that would be sweet!
