Smile Finally got the UT Calibra...

As a huge Opel Calibra fan I have been looking for the UT Models kit of the 1995 spec Opel Calibra V6 DTM... I already have 3 of the Tamiya 1994 spec kit (The white/yellow Tamiya kit raced in 1994 and the black one raced in 1995 but it was a 1994 spec car).

And now finally I didn't get just one, but 2 of them, both versions, the standard Team Rosberg version and the "Bye bye Keke"-version. The only difference on these cars are the decals, just like in reality, actually it was the same car, just with a different livery in Keke Rosberg's last professional race.

They were imported from Netherlands by a diecast shop here in Finland and a friend of mine who collects diecasts got these for me from there!

The paint schemes are quite complicated on these and I wonder how to get the pearl effect white to the model... which is used in the real cars (and even in the Minichamps 1:43 diecast models of these cars, which I of course have also...)
