Finally a car from my favourite motorsports series; DTM. Looks like you have done a great job with the c/f decals, especially the dashboard.

Looking really good Dragonstyle. I've been glancing at this kit for a while so I will keep an eye on your progress. As I said, seems nice so far!

Hi,

great job with the carbon decals (SMS-Decals?).
Don´t you want to replace the towing hook with a p/e part, the one on the model looks a little bit too thick.

Nice details for the seat-belts fastening.

why did you repaint it ?

RallyRaider

Pleased to see you back on track with the Astra dragonstyle. What kind of paint are you using? It looks like a matt basecoat, will you gloss clear topcoat it later?

Yep, bravo my man. Think I'm gonna have to put this on my ever-growing list of 'future-wants' after I've finished building the kits I have at the moment of course!

WOW! It just gets better every time I see it. Can I just ask, did the roll cage padding come with the kit or is it an added accessory?

Hi Dragonstyle !
Very nice build !
Just one question because I am currently working on the same kit :
Are you sure the way the seat belts are attached behind the seat ? Because I couldn't manage to find a pic of this area in the real car !
Thank you ! :smile:

Speaking of seatbelt attachments. Could you let me know where you got those wee hook pins?
