Claes Ericsson Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 Does anyone make good quality repro decals for the Mono "Badman" 55 Chevy, preferably in 1/25th? I'm pretty sure Firebird designs had 'em, but they seem to have ceased operations. /Claes Ericsson
roadhawg Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 https://public.fotki.com/SpeedwayDecals/hot-rods-street/badman-1-24-jpg.html They are printed on clear decal paper, not colored.
Claes Ericsson Posted July 9, 2022 Author Posted July 9, 2022 Thanks guys! Now I at least have a couple of options.
bisc63 Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Just a heads-up on these decals: the ones linked by Slusher are based on a (real) reproduction car someone built, and they are incorrect in their type style and other design issues The ones linked by roadhawg are more correct, but incomplete. No "Hooker Headers" for example. I point this out so that IF you are wanting to exactly copy the old Monogram kit's look, you get the details right! The best I've seen so far, though only in 1/24, can be found here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1236003365 Although available in many scales, he doesn't (yet?) offer1/25. Given the design, the 1/24 should work just fine on the 1/25 body. Good luck!

Website will show the correction within the next few days. 1
bisc63 Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Now they look right! Also, you get bonus points for using the correct font on "Hooker Headers". Edited July 21, 2022 by bisc63 added info
Hondamatic Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 Because the Monogram 55 is back, I just wanna let you know that the Powerslide brand ones are very good
