Has any one done business with or heard anything about TB Decals & Models out of Italy? I'm thinking about ordering some decals and was wondering how their quality/service is. www.tbdecalsmodels.com/home |

Has any one done business with or heard anything about TB Decals & Models out of Italy? I'm thinking about ordering some decals and was wondering how their quality/service is. www.tbdecalsmodels.com/homeYes I have. I used their decals on my Fittipaldi Lotus 72. Very nice guys to deal with, excellent quality decals. No need for anything except warm water and a little MicroSet. Fragile but very workable. And their decals were actually gold, which nobody else seems to make. I'd use them again.

ps: don't use TS13 over them

I don't know anything about this company but we sure need someone to make indycar decals. We only have Michael, who is excellent but very busy. I've tried Pattos but not happy with his product.

I don't know anything about this company but we sure need someone to make indycar decals. We only have Michael, who is excellent but very busy. I've tried Pattos but not happy with his product. Its' a double edged sword. If Indycar decals sold like Sports car decals I'd be cranking out more. Case in point, my 2019 Foyt/Tony Kanaan decals - I've sold exactly 12 sets. 2010 Verizon Penske - which I brought back in proper dayglo colors - 15 sets. Now in all fairness the 2021 winner and 2021 USAF car have done well - which shows the importance of selective subjects. But sales drop off precipitously for cars that didn't race at Indy even if they won a race (I have some Texas and Fontana winners that don't sell for squat). And there are some Indy car decals that sell well - but they all have plastic kits to put them on and we're not going to be getting any more of those in the foreseeable future (If Tamiya didn't jump on the Sato bandwagon for his two wins, there is no hope IMO). Ironically of all the Dallara sets I've released, the best seller - by a huge margin - is for a car that didn't even qualify for the 500, and it's not even a full set: 2019 Alonso. But even that well has dried up with only 5 sold this year, but there were only so many die casts produced to begin with. But I do have more 2022 cars in the works. |

If you supply your own vector graphics files, TB Decals will print them for you. A bit pricey but excellent quality.
Mass production always makes things affordable, when you think about it, how much does it cost to make just one of anything?
