As I am in the finishing stages of two JPS Lotus 78 I am looking at the possibility of building a couple of Rebaques Lotus 78.
I would like an very early and a late 1978 car and for decals the only option seem to be MTR speed decals, but when I am looking at pictures of the sheet on the net it look like it isn't complete for both cars.
I can't find the rear wing stripe for two cars so does it mean I need to find two sets of decals. Some sources claim one can build all three cars from the set:

Re: Rebaque decals?
Thanks but that would be a mid season car and it look to be made for the old kit without etch so the end plates on the rear wing is wrong for those decals.
Tabu decals also did this scheme but for the new kit so it has the right side plates but still is the wrong car for me.
So the MTR sheet seems to be the one I need but I'm still concerned about the stripes on the rear wing.

Re: Rebaque decals?
Bjorn,
I have the sheet also..Correct is you can make 3 different versions,BUT Only one car as you already found out
There is only one rear wing decal that goes on top.I think there are no further options..exept one :Give Mr Toni Rost a call to see if he has any sheets left or maybe some left overs from his "spares bin "..
Greetings,
Alex.

Re: Rebaque decals?
Thanks for the info. Sad but I'll skip this idea. That make the price for the decals twice as much as the price of the kit. If I could build both cars from one set of decals I might have considered building them.
