Lets see if anyone can help me ...
I've just finished a mould of the Ferrari 712 (CanAm car from 1971) in 1/32 scale.
I need high resolution images of "Shell", "Firestone" and "Heuer" stickers used in that car, to do 1/32 scale stickers / adhesives / decals.
"Shell" was just written, not the company logo.
"Firestone" was the logo with 2 chequered flags and written "Firestone Equipped".
"Heuer" was the traditional Cronograph Heuer logo, present on every Ferrari team car in the 70's.
I've tried to find something with Google but I did not get good results.
Maybe someone has these stickers and can scan them for me ...
Many thanks !
Best regards !

Have you done a search of Grand Prix Models website using 1/32 and decals? I know Virages makes decals of sponsors in scales from 1/43 to 1/24. Try also Professor Motor. They also carry carry decals in 1/32. If all else fails, try Patto's Place in AU. If they don't have them on a sporsor sheet they probably are on a sheet of a particular Ferrari. It will take some time to look through them. Let us know how you make out. I will try to think of some other solutions.

If you haven't done so already, have a look at the decals section on Pendles website they have all the ones you've mentioned.

Thanks for your help and interest.
I had already looked for existing decals. The problem is that a) they do not have the decals the size I need, b) you have to buy one sheet of Firestone and one sheet of Shell decals to use just a few, c) Heuer decals are not available.
That's why I decided to try to make just the decals that I need, if I can find high resolution images of these logos.
The mould is to do vacuum form slot car bodies, so I want to have a few sets of these particular sponsors.
The "Shell" is not difficult to do in a computer and the "Heuer" logo can be designed.
The most difficult to solve is the "Firestone equipped" logo ...

As AlMark has stated above, they are available from Pattos Place in 1/32 scale for the Ferrari 712 exactly as you describe. See http://members.optus...place/home.html . Scroll down under Decals- F to and then click on the scale on the right hand side to view. Prices are in Australian dollars, so very reasonable.You might look here althogh they sometimes don't have the older styles:

Thanks for your effort !
I found nothing at "brands of the world".
The Patto's decals are copied from those from Top Slot (a Spanish company that makes 1/32 scale resin bodies - they have this Ferrari 712 decals in their catalog), which I have.
The DMC decals (at Grand Prix Models) are not available at the moment.
Why do I want to make these decals ?
When you a buy a sheet of decals, you get just a few of those you are interest on. And these decals normally are expensive.
So, I want to make a decal sheet with just Ferrari, Shell, Firestone, Heuer, Koni and Champion brands / logos.
I already have the Ferrari, Koni and Champion logos.
The missing ones are Heuer, Shell and Firestone.
My 1/32 Ferrari 712 body is vacuum form and I race this car, so there will be a (almost) permanent need of these decals, to make the future bodies.
Best regards !
