revell 1/24 audi DTM

Hi
It's first time I posting on AF. Nice to meet you

I'm Korean, and I'm not good at conversation in English.
But I'd like to sharing my work process with you guys, so I'm writing this on AF

Now I'm working revell DTM project since March.


↓ First. Revell kit usually has dull and thick molds and detail. So I focused on reviving body shape and character lines.

PS. PE parts by KA-models

This look like it is sure to be a great build. I really like the detail you have put in!

Look good so far, nice photos of what you did, this thread will be helpful

Nice start and i do like what you have done with the diffuser. Which car will this be?

Thank you for comments!

Continuously..
I did a lot of works and remodeled some parts, but I didn't take enough pictures to introduce it.

↓ I disassembled rear wing because original part is too thick.
Trim wings more slim and make new winglets by aluminum plate. And apply CF and decals

Welcome!

Your english is not bad at all! You should see my Korean! :loser:

Great start! :thumbsup:

If I may add one critical comment, I would have taken care of those sink marks on the underbody before applying the CF decals.

Keep it up! :)

Sweet job on the CF work, those curves look like they would have been a nightmare to cover.

Yeah, I agree. But when I working on underbody, I was exhausted :grinyes:
It's OK, I won't see that anymore after complete it.

Thank you. Nightmare? You absolutely right! But one more nightmare is left. I will post it soon!

Hello again!

I'd like to start this post with my favorite work

↓ This is my favorite part, radiator grill!
Drill original part and glue PE mash. Make 4 hole on mash for emblem.
And make grill border by 0.6mm plastic beam

Also I added O.Z RACING decal on wheels by Tamiya WRC decal. O.Z decal is not include original Revell kit.
Finally, Make tires rough

that front grill is awesome!

Thanks for sharing. Really sweet progress you got there. Also don't worry if your english isnt good, all we need is pictures to understand. Keep us updated!!

This is continuing to be an amazing build. It gets better and better!

I think you own shares in a CF decal company....lol Great job on the grill and getting the CF work on the interior.

Soonhoya!!!!!! Welcome to AF. Trust me the pics don't give your work justice at all - It looks 100 times better in the flesh. Can't wait to see it completed:smile:

Looks great! :)

Hello again!

First, thank you for you guys to reply on my posts.

I can't do modeling work for a while, so I post it after a long interval.

Today, I sprayed 'matt clear' on body, and assembled some body parts.

↓ I used Super Clear. I mixed semi-gloss and matt clear 50% : 50%
Before clear coat, I masking some part(roof, siiver side..) to make glossy point .
It looks good, but some decals were damaged by my mistake :(

http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee385/soono87/077.jpg

↓ Yeah, nothing special on this post.

Now, It's almost finished. Next post will complete model in gallery, maybe.

Wow that looks fantastic, i'd be happy if mine turned out half as good

I think you captured the matt look perfectly. Looks very mean.

Amazing!
