You'll see my Gitane in this earlier topic:

WAIT PLEASE! If your bike is similar to Addam's, hold off and wait for correct decals. I've looked into getting some re-pops done, not all that expensive...the "foil" decals are the tricky ones from what I have learned because of the required stock on which to print the image. Since yours is earlier than 63, your bike may have had Mafac Tigers (depends on how high up on scale your bike was originally)...perfect for your collection I assume....pics of bike (and car) would be appreciated!
