Just wondering what you guys would do.
If you had a decal sheet that no plastic kit was made for
the car is available in resin and diecast both.
Would you do it with a resin body or a diecast car or just not buy that decal?
Thanks
Joe

I would build it from resin. To me you have more options in the building process, enabling a more accurate replica if that is your goal. I have several resin bodied cars built.

Ditto-Ive done custom with diecast when no resin/plastic source exists but given the option, if not in plastic, Id go with resin before diecast
