False Printed Original Cheetah Decal

Recommended Posts

I have these two Cheetah decals. They are definetly originals. The back papers are identical, also the colours.

I have recognized an imperfection on one sheet at the Lamborghini brand symbol, red cross and the Tamiya Stars. The colours are shifted slightly.

Did anybody ever seen something like that? I can confirm that these are both original decalsheets.

So come on guys - let's check the Cheetah decal sheets :(

That is what is called registration. It's quite common on most original decals where the colors don't exactly line up. That is the worst I've seen, I'm surprised Tamiya QC let that one through

Yes, that is the red colour shifted.

I am quite sure that they are both originals, but I have never seen one as bad as this.

You have something unique :(

I got this two decal sheets with two nib Cheetah kits from a very kind and trusted TC member :P

Due to this I was so happy and excited that this misreg was not so important to me – but interesting.

We can admit it was me :)

Honestly, I didn't notice the decal mistake, but it is s curiosity. I might be able to swap it for you, I have an incomplete Cheetah body parts set somewhere and there would be a good one in there most likely.
