Mercedes DTM 2000 24h Service

[modlman17]

My most recent completion (about 30 minutes after the Toyota Celica ). Tamiya kit and paint with Studio 27 decals. This car has been a nightmare at times. I had the body sprayed with a beautiful, shiny finish out of the Tamiya can and got greedy for another coat. That's when I grabbed the TS42 Light Charcoal instead of white. I had to strip the finish and had a lot of paint residue and stains on the body afterwards. I finally got a pretty good finish on it and was satisfied. Then while taking these photos, I broke most of the rear wing off. I love the simplicty of the white scheme.

I love this kit and will have 6 versions when I get finished building one day. I have already built the Team D2 kit and also have the Original Teile and black Warsteiner kits as well as the Studio 27 decals for the 2001 flip flop purple 24h Service scheme and the Mika Hakkinen test version as well. Well, on to the pictures, let me know what you think.

Nice build and I do agree the '24h' decal on the side is hair pulling and stress to put on... mine was tear when I try to adjust it...your one is great.
