I have a set of these repro but have restored with originals however had a couple of rips in the wing decals covered them up with a few other decals.

I used mci decals on my vanquish and it looks fab. I think the problem with orignal old tamiya decals is they dont always stick that well. Ill post a pic guys and you can tell me if you would leave as is or replace them.

vwbug2010, how do you go about making the replicas?
Do you have a 3D scanner, or just model them yourself?

I have found CAD is the best way to make the parts. It’s just ensuring the right material is used in the printer as suspension parts need to be tough. I had such a hard job getting these I will be creating replica r parts and f parts

Have a look at shape ways maybe somebody already did the Falcon parts. They also tips on software and tutorials.
You can install AutoCAD 360 for free if you don’t use it commercially.
