Re: WIP: Tamiya 1/20 Jordan 191

Another tedious update on the decals... but will be useful for the other modellers out there who are/will be making this. The car that doesn't have the TicTac decal has a Cosberg decal on the bottom of the rear cowling whereas the car with the TicTac decal has an IGM Group logo decal in its place.

The Studio27 decal of the red capital E in a white circle with a red edge has an overly bold letter E when compared to the reference pictures (I also noticed that the Ireland decal on the side of the cockpit is too bold too.

I have applied the Tamiya white lines on the rear cowling now (as I can only assume the Studio 27 decals omit these). The Tamiya ones are slightly thicker and whiter and are actually very good. They are perhaps a little too thick for scale, but they do a much better job of hiding any imperfections in your masking of the blue/green border. Given the opportunity over, I would use the Tamiya white lines (on sheet B) unless I was very happy with my masking/paint job.

Hope that helps,
BillyPee
