Hey Fred: I don't understand, how do you know it's a "Chiappini"? How would you replicate the decals if there are none there? I have never heard of that make, but as been recently discussed here on the CR list, there are multitudinous small Italian builders and brands (not the same thing necessarily) so who knows? IMO, inaccurate decals would be undesirable... It would be better to have none at all. Just my opinion though... Have fun with your new acquisition.. Dale
