    Morning all,

    Before I spend the morning drawing I wondered if anyone had any M-sport decal / stripes files?
    Its for the Transit Custom, but will work with any other model as a starting point?

    Thanks

    These are difficult to replicate so I did this using knifeless tape laid out on the van and covered with black vinyl. This was done by eye basically following the contours of the van. I used 25mm wide application tape to create an even border around the lights then applied the knifeless tape to follow the shapes created

    looks great Phill! I’ve done similar with the knifeless tape but not so complicated as that one πŸ™‚

    If you don’t have a "proper cut file" for creating this kit, forget about it. Opt for Phills method and make sure you add enough to cover your time and filament tape. If the customer wants it cheap, tell him to buy a proper kit from Ford. πŸ˜‰

    Nice work Phill.

    Yes looks good, it was more for the artwork quote than production. It’s only one vehicle so will get knife-less cutting. Thanks
