You could try contacting Tamiya.

If Tamiya don't have it, I know BBR does have a set of decal for their 1/24 CLK-GTR which I think you can make it to work. I just bought a set not too long ago at my LHS.

BBR's Original Teile decals were meant for their CLK, which was not at all close to Tamiya's. If you get a set a set, it will take some work to make them fit correctly. Incidently though, I do have an extra set of the BBR. If you are willing to give it a try, just PM or email me.

Theres a guy on eBay who sells these from time to time from Japan. You should definitely try Tamiya though. I got a set of the sportswear decals from them not that long ago.

The Original Teile GTR is an out of production kit. You can still find it, but not in store.. Tamiya will not have the decal sheets (since it's OOP for a while)

It may be that Tamiya does not have these, but this will not be just because the model is OOP. Tamiya has a lot of stock of parts for OOP models (I have gotten quite a few items from them). The longer a model is oop the less likely they will have it, but they don't get rid of stock just because a model is no longer produced.

Last two Original Teile models I found came from stores as recently as 3 months ago.

I have a set of aftermarket decal I'm not going to use. I bought it from some Japanese company before Tamiya released its own version.

I'll see if I can find it.

I have both kits, unmade and yes they are different.

The BBR seems a lot more larger even though its supposed to be 1/24, the tamiya is smaller in comparison, its very noticeable so borrowing BBR decals for the Tamiya won't work very well.

The BBR looks soo much better but it is resin to be fair.
