Kits with the biggest number of decals?

Hi guys,

I am currently building a Jaccs Honda Accord, the one with the green, orange and red livery. This kit has so many decals, it's incredible, the kit is almost all covered by decals.

Is there kits that have more decals than this one? What is the kit with the most decal you ever done?

The DTM cars from Tamiya have quite a few. The Team D2 2000 and especially the Original Teile are quite challenging. I think RallyRaider had a crocodile decalled car that looked pretty challenging.

I'd love to see a model with Honda's F1 earth paint scheme. Back half would be a breeze, but the front? :screwy:

I'd think that the Carte de France M1 that I am currently building would have to be a contender for the "Most Decaled Kit".

I'd guess that 90% of the surface is covered in decals. In fact, "wallpaper" would be a better word than "decal" :evillol:

Holy shit that's insane! That one should be challenging!

Are you going to do a WIP? Make sure to post pictures of the piles of hair as well!

:lol: A before and after shot of the head. I wish I could do that sort of work but its challenging for me to just apply the car emblem and odometer decals. I have Ken's ER34 Skyline still in its box but i'm intimidated to start it because of my damn shaky hands. I'm thinking of building it as a regular tuner and buying another kit later and making that one like Ken's Skyline drifter. That way I have two sets of decals to work with.

I saw that F1 Rally made. I'm not much of a fan of the F1's but that's a beaut. I'd attempt it if my hands let me.

Yeah there are a few car kits or aftermarket sheets where 90% or more of the body is covered by decals. The Original Teile Mercs, BMW art cars and Crocodile Audi R8 to name a few. Personally I love decals, although it is always nice to have spares in case of mistakes, a luxury I didn't have with the Audi. :)

He already is doing a WIP for the build :screwy:

Looks like its covered in newspaper:p I like Rally's Audi gator and the purple F1. I remember voting for that one before.

True the 2001 version is completely covered in decal, but in fact they comprise a mere 19 parts......where'as the 2004 version I did myself had some 128 seperate decals.:banghead:

Well, at least you knew where each one needed to go! LOL

I also put my vote on Tamiya's Original-Teile, both the DTM and GTR cars, but they have rather big decals that each covers a large area.

The one with most separate decals on my shelf is the Xanavi Nismo, don't remember exactly but it was over 130 decals before it was finished and I loved it all the way. Decaling is one of those calm and slow progressing moments in a build that makes my brain idle and it's so refreshing.

Well, this is the one's I'm talking about.

Good luck on the Honda, don't forget to show the progress.

Niclas, I have both those kits to do and looking at your builds, I am glad I do.
I hope they come out looking like that!! VERY nice :thumbsup:

True...as I got the Logo files direct from the Racing for Holland team, or actually from Trimline (the company that made the stickers for the 1/1 car)

During the run up to the 2004 LM, each time the RfH team got a new sponsor...I got a new file, including the number where the logo had to go.

In the end my 1/24 car was finished before they applied all the stickers on the 1/1 car :iceslolan

and i thought the 787b was bad!

Talk about instant modeling, the kit is there before the original :runaround:
