Smile DTM Progress
Hey guys!
First off i have to say this is one great forum!

This is my first 1/24 model and im sure it wont be my last.
Im only realy half way so far.

I would like to keep this looking stock with not to many racing stickers and i was thinking of painting it yellow.

Any tips with painting?
Here are a few pics:



Here is a quick adjustment in photoshop to see what it would look like in yellow:

Coming out great. I'd paint it red, IMO the yellow looks kinda funky.

Changed the title of the thread to something more informative.

And as for the model, if you want to keep it "stock", you should make it a race car version, don't you think? With all the decals taht come with the kit and in the paint scheme that is noted in the instructions.
