Tabu Design 1/20 Williams FW 16
In today's economy, it is more frequent to find that model companies are
more politically correct than the normal range of businesses. This is
especially true when it comes to models of racing cars. Frequently cars are
sponsored by tobacco or alcohol companies. As models are allegedly aimed at
a young audience, the decals that come with many kits will be devoid of
these markings, despite the fact that the real car was racing with them
clearly in view.
As a result, this has spawned a need for accurate decals to go along with
new kits and when it comes to racing car kits produced by Tamiya, Hasegawa
and Fujimi, Tabu comes to the rescue. This particular sheet is for the
Fujimi Williams FW 16 as raced in 1994. The sheet includes all the 'missing'
markings for the Fujimi kit as well as several other small items. The decals
themselves are superbly done; crisp and clear with no registration errors.
There is no placement guide, which could be a problem for some, but one
simply has to look on the internet and images of the car will not be
difficult to find.
