clk-gtr ?`s

Hey everyone, i hate to start a thread for this because it may seem kind of pointless, but i need help. I`ve been loooking to do a superdetailed (or so i hope) build of a car that i like. Well, i purchased tamiyas clk-gtr kit with sakatsus detail set. I havent recieved it yet but it looks to be the mesh, and some small photo-etched parts. So heres my ?`s.

1) I`ve been looking everywhere for reference pics but can`t find much in the interior, engine bay, and entire front end (plan to do an all open version)
2) Are there any other detail sets that i should look into?

Thank you!!

If you can find one, I suggest you get the now out-of-production Scale Motorsport CLK-GTR Super Detail Set. It contains templated carbon fiber decals (which can also be purchased separately), a couple of sheets of photoetch (also which can be bought separately) plus turned metal parts for shocks, fluid resovouirs, etc. The instructions for the set can be seen here:

If you can't find the full detail set (one showed up on Ebay a couple of weeks ago), hunt down the PE and CF decals separately. All well worth it.

ya they dont sell the photo-etched anymore, but i was thinking about buying the carbon fibre set. well, ill start looking on ebay for it. thank you

I have a few pics that might be of help.

wow those were great! thanks! theyre especially helpful in the tailpipe section and the open doors. thank you very much, and any more info will be great!

I've been trying to convince SMS to do a re-release of the CLK kit. Maybe they will do a better one if there was enough interest. Send them an email. High customer requests go a long way with MW at SMS.

I actually have two of the super detail kits.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing these photos!! I also have the Tamiya CLK-GTR and have been looking everywhere for reference photos; the best I could come up with were pics of the street car, which is substantially different. These pictures are invaluable. :ylsuper:
