www.tbdecalsmodels.comBased out of Italy, I've used him a couple of times. Great quality silk screen decals. He also does some resin parts and custom work. His decals are individually printed, as in not all on one big carrier, so less trimming, less time. Whites are very opaque and decals are thin and tough. I've clear coated them with Tamiya clear after applying and haven't seen any issues so far. Here is a pic of his decals on my Tamiya F1-2000.

I ordered a set for my 1/12th Lotus 72 JPS car. Great price, $27.00 CDN incl shipping, and they are supposed to be the real gold colour. Except they're from Italy and with this covid 19, I don't know if I'll ever get them. I ordered them March 7th, bad timing on my part. I don't know if this Lotus will ever get built!

Before this covid thing, I usually got mine within 2 weeks. Now? Who knows. I read that the postal service there is considered essential and they will work at full capacity as long as they can so it's business as usual for them but I guess the problem would be that the people aren't allowed outside except in emergencies. I can't imagine getting decals off to the buyer would be considered an emergency.

TB were kind enough to refund my money, which was nice of them except I didn't want a refund, I really needed the decals. So I re-ordered them, and they arrived yesterday. I don't know if its the original order or the replacement, the envelope looked like it had been through a war zone, but the decal sheets are fine. They look very nice. This isn't a photograph, its an actual scan of the sheets:
They seem like good guys to deal with, its just the world thats messed up.
Now I can get on with building my Lotus.
