What are the differences between the reissued Tamiya McLaren M23 and the older Texaco Marlboro version? Is it only the decales?

Does anyone know if the Marlboro decals are available for the re-issued Tamiya kit?

It's the same kit. The only things that have changed are tobacco laws and some lawyer types that don't want their logos on decals for plastic toys...

I do not know however if they replace the original Texaco-Marlboro ones.

Strange.... race car kits with Rothmans and JPS are filling the market and no one complains. Before you get me wrong, I do not drink nor smoke.

The kits do not come with all the decals, (like tobacco and in some cases, the tire manufacturer) but the decals are available from third parties.
