minichamps yamaha yzr 500 conversion

[Paulali]

i am going to be adding Marlboro decals to this minichamps yamaha yzr 500,dated 2001 ,the first thing i have had to do,is remove the white rectangle on the fuel tank,for some reason Minichamps placed it in the wrong place.Minichamps had it past the fuel filler cab,so carefully using my wifes nail varnish remover ,the white rectangle is removed,the Marlboro decals are coming from Australia,only place i could source them,pictures of the model to follow,2nd picture shows where the marlboro decal should be,1st picture shows where Minichamps had it,the bike is a yamaha yzr 500 from 2001,ridden by Max BiaggiView attachment 114324

at last i can post something,decals arrived and im putting them on now,just the right hand side to finish,i had to remove the yamaha decal above the the 2 upper exhausts,as minichamps had placed it to near to the front of the bike,so out with the wifes nail polish remover,luckily i had a spare tamiya yamaha decal,i then repositioned it so the marlboro decal could go on,anything that says marlboro is the decals i have put on

Nice job, some of those decals must have been a real pain to get to conform
