Paint or decal ?

http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Trofeu-1410-1-43-Fiat-131-Abarth-1st-PORTUGAL-1981-excellent-/331638670845?hash=item4d373485fd

Anybody have or know this model. Are the blue stripes paint or decal. If paint then would I be correct in assuming that the decals can be removed to get me back to a white car with three blue stripes ?

I think the stripes are all decal.

It's decal, I have the entire car as decal on a sheet which I bought from Carlos lopes. I have the model itself too, decals are starting to fall off so it's no tampo.

I suspect you're after a Fiat to make Billy Coleman's Chequered Flag car, in which case you might be better off buying a partwork model which has the roof and arches in the right colour.

Beware there are two versions.
1978 Monte-Carlo, Servia / Brustenga, #11 (white roof spoiler)
1979 Monte-Carlo, Servia / Brustenga, #31 (black roof spoiler)

Thanks for the replies folks.

I am looking at doing the Timo Salonen car from the 1980 Circuit of Ireland as part of the display for next Easter. I have a white base thanks.

This is the Lusso Toys base model if it helps your project, but no worries if you are sorted.....

James I have FIAT UK decals with all the blue stripes was going do a run of 10 1978 COI FIAT 131. I can get a a set of these decals from my supplier. Alternatively simply remove the decals except the blue stripes using hot water soaked cotton buds

If you can get a set then that would be excellent Rory. Thanks

Do you have any more pics of the car. I can get the decals fairly easily-just need to ask my Trofeu supplier.
