Pman, Do you get a bonus for advertising about this model?? 'Cause it looks like a salesman talk to a customer..
Very nice car though.. Are you ordering it??

lol...nah mate, i just copy/paste what was on the Tamiya page so ppl knew what the model was etc.

Yeah i'll get it when its released

Did you just copy the bottom part from the tamiya site or another internet site?
but i would like to build it, sounds like a good kit.

just a reedition of model 24079..... look nice, but old....

Tamiya have this one and Honda fit (horrible model in my opinion) that are "new" model.... crap...


I want an Audi TT DMT 2001 !!!!!!! :cry:

Good thing Tamiya is releasing again these old models that we can’t find in any store for years. Can’t wait to put my hands on it. :D
For all of you like me (that love to build Formula 1 models) here is a great new. Tamiya will re-release the 1/20 Wolf WR1 Ford F1! :p

I've built this kit twice ahhh, about 10 years ago, I guess. One for a store in Tokyo to boost the sales of rather unpopular prototype models, and another for a customer
It's a very good kit, and now it comes with caltograph decal. I've got to have one for myself.

is'nt there another paint scheme for this car? or am I mistaken?

I don't think we'll see Audi models for a while because of Audi's strict licensing rules. Apparently Audi is very loathe to hand out licenses to Tamiya or any other model company for that matter, for some odd reason. As far as I know they only trust their cars image in the hands of die-cast car makers.. :crying:

At least Taka-Q 88CV (the yellow one) for sure, and Tamiya produced it before, but not certain about other sponsors.
Hasegawa made Denso Toyota 88C, but 88C and 88CV are different, and there were C-L and CV-L for Le Mans, so those prototypes, especially the 88, are quite confusing.

Ditto to that brother :( :(
I wish they would do more BTCC Touring cars too:mad:

i got to say DMT tourers have amasing styling especial the new shape clk...the new BTCC are nothing compared to the super tourers a few years ago but still has great door to door action.
