Carbon F decal for Honda Pons NSR500'98

[Pastis]

Hi ,

i need some Carbon fiber decal for my Tamiya 1/12 Honda NSR500 '98. Any suggestions are more then welcome.
Ones been told its better to use 1/20 scale CF on a 1/12 scale motorbike.
Feel free to share your opinion.

Thinking to buy some Scalemotorsports CF, only thing im not sure of is the scale

(hope i posted this on the right section)

I use as small scale as possible generally, otherwise the carbon weave can look too "big" and out of true scale. Quite often in "real life" from even a small distance the actual pattern in the carbon fibre is barely noticeable. 1/24th on a 1/12th bike would look great, but check your reference pictures.

I have normally used 1/20 for 1/12 for years on my bikes. Looks more realistic. On most any project, I always drop a scale (1/20 to 1/24, 1/24 to 1/43, etc), as that's the best way to be realistic. It's a good rule of thumb, at least...
