Also as there was no information about on the brand i took the liberty to do some research & set up a Facebook page for the brand collation all of the images scans catalogues & information i could find on the brand all of that is here if you are interested: https://www.facebook.com/MarlboroZapperBMX
(Big thanks to Del for utilising the artwork i sent to him in order to produce the decals as it's just completed the build in a way i never thought possible).
