      Looking for a the correct colors for the 36.

      I checked with Dixie and she does not have that one.

      Appears to be a hint of blue behing the ELTO  lettering, not sure.

        From my picture files. These were on 1938 motors. Bottom one looks to be an original but I don’t know that for sure. Colors may have changed through the years while the design may have remained the same. Just speculation. I know nothing about these. Tubs

          Decal for 36-42 Handitwins appear to have changed almost every year.

          Attached pics are from my 36 & 40.

          36 appears to have  blue, green and gray/silver wing emblem.

          40 has red, green and gray/silver wing emblem.

          Cream color on the 40 must be the substrate.

          Searching I found very little information on the 36, production quanity may have been limited.

            AmericanOutboard.com has water slide decals listed for Elto Handitwins. 1938 is different from 1939-42. I don’t know what their source is for authenticity.

              Yeah, and the 1936 decal is different than the 38-42.

              Finding a nice picture of a 36 tank would be great. So far my tank is the best reference I’ve come across. Might be the best example I can come up with and I’ll work with Dixie to see if she can create.

              Dixie has sent me pics of what she has.

              Thanks for resplying.
