does anyone sell water slide tire decals for 1/25th tires?

[foxbat426]

was just thinking of using these for the goodyear etc. lettering on tires - painting some tires is almost impossible.

l have seen them for sale time to time on ebay....Slusher

I think the dry transfer lettering works better if you can find some. Doesn't Slixx have some tire decals ?

Try www.scalemodelingbychris.com I think they carry several styles.

Slixx has them - most are sized and meant for NASCAR. They have a "nostalgic" (or something like that) tire decal sheet that includes some GY, Firestone, and other markings.

I have another sheet, I think is is Scale Motorsports???, and includes smaller than your normal NASCAR GY decals. I'll double check that source when I get home.

There was a seller eBay that had some GY Poly Glas decals, but I haven't seen them in awhile.

Doesn't Shabo also make dry transfer lettering for tires? I tried kit supplied decals once and had no luck with those at all. When I do want letters on my tires, I use a 3/0 brush, flat white acrylic paint and dry brush the letters.

Yes...Shabo does. They have Goodyear (older styles and newer NASCAR yellow lettering), Firestone, and I think Bridgestone. Also some whitewall styles...I think...maybe? I could be wrong.

Just checked Model Empire. Page 56 in their online catalog has the full list (most likely) of Shabo's products.
