Re: Fujimi Mercedes 190E 2.5 16v

then I analyzed the other parts, and like we said it was a little bit disappointing, cause like in that old m3 model (I should finish soon..I know I know..) there is nearly nothing. And few provided is also mistaken.
The other very impostant part to chek then are the wheels. It was absolutely correct they provide both wheels (oz and speedline) but those really look a little bit undersized. The idea then to buy some extra OZ wheels coming from Tamiya calibra Cliff dtm and some C Klasse tyres was spotted on. they look much much better compared to ones from the kit.
All real cars had this aggressive look:



and the comparison between the 2 set of wheels becomes this way:



Modeller lasagna99 also gave me some of his pictures to spot the same area. his pictures are much better than mine and he has dtm wheels coming from the 155 jagermeister, think same mould in tamiya calibra dtm cars:

Re: Fujimi Mercedes 190E 2.5 16v

also the front end of the bumper doesnt convince me so much, even looking carefully at pictures. There I suspect fujimi made a mistake (I still didnt measure the lenght of the model compare to the measures above) but what I see on real car is this :





and in the same way looking at rear bumper (plastic)






while scale model bumpers looks much smaller imho
