Since he got these scans from me I can pat myself of the back.

There are a lot more to come!

Why does he have to be MCI-racing instead of TBG when selling decals?

They are 2 different people, 2 different companies. TBG is busy enough with the number of bodies he makes.

Huh- Same province, Same background, Same market. What are the chances of that

It's a relative. When I spoke to him his lawyer said no on the stickers so that may also have something to do with it- but last I heard it was his machine and his brother or brother in law doing the work

Which brings me back to my first post

I'm guessing it's being treated as a separate entity for legal reasons so if they get sued it wouldn't bring TBG down.

Will the Ultima Pro XL stickers be done in the future?

How does the quality of these rate in comparison to Marwan and the UK person (forget the name) that does the decals?

I don't get kick backs or anything from TBG or MCI but I can only speak from experience. Before TBG came along I purchased a lot of Marwan but now that TBG is here his bodies are WAY cleaner, better made and I would never buy another Marwan in my life. I have both and I compare them, TBG are so much better made.

The same with the decals, I've purchased Marwan Decals and I know how MCI does his because he told me and they are again WAY better quality, Marwan 's are crap sorry to say. The only thing he makes that I might order is tires.

Stay away from Marwan, better yet buy one of his Beetle Bodies and then a TBG Beetle and see for yourself.

I wouldn't mind buying a TBG LWB Mid body to compare to the Marwan ones have however the TBG body still has the bump for the Mechanical Speed COntrol whereas the Marwan doesn't

Anyway to talk TBG into doing a SWB Mid body that doesn't have the bump for the mechanical speed control on the left hand side window?

I ordered my Tomahawk decal sheet from MCI. I noticed in the listing it stated that the stickers have been fitted on the TBG body, so that makes sense. I noticed in the manual, the original driver doll has a small lip on the side for the motor wires, where as the one from TBG does not. They must not use the original mold, but one from a similar model. For $4.99 I guess you can't complain though (because that has been the cheapest part I have managed to get so far).

They did use the original mold because I gave it to him, i know what you're saying about the hole and notch.

I asked MCI about that, thought the same as you.
I guess they are buddies, work separately, but know what each other is up to.

Seems to me, like they should just get together, offer a joint service.
that's just my opinion though.

as for these decals, I was wondering about the other Scorpion ones. I have just about enough parts to build another car, so doing something different to my original car appealed.
