Those decals probably came off a 1/12 Associated decal sheet #3820 which has the Porsche and Ferrari crests and the Ferrari name which is under the 2 Shell names but is white so doesn't show up in the scan.

I agree, the STP and the Goodyear ones look to also be there

It's possible those decals came from the 1/8 scale decal SP20 which is the same as the 1/12th and the Ferrari name is about 62 mm long as opposed to the 45 mm on the 1/12 scale sheet. This was pointed out to me in a pm by RC10resto, thanks Brian.

Thanks for the hint! Anyone in the US/California willing to buy it for me? Seller asks for crazy shipping cost and import charges (I live in Europe).

David, I purchased them. I'll send them along with the shock parts when they get finished.

Thanks but do you mean literally literally insane or figuratively literally insane?

Thanks to Joe aka jwscab I received today the correct early 1/8 decal sheet together with the two beautiful alloy front shock cups he kindly machined for this replica. I really love building cars that couldn't come to life without worldwide partnerships. You rock, Joe!

glad they arrived safe. That's a heck of a camera there, picks up all the dirt and machine marks. Of course they are mostly raw off the machine(s) so some light polishing will improve the finish.
