Completed: Opel Astra DTM Team Pheonix

Hi there,

Took so long to build another car...

Here it is: Opel Astra DTM Team Phoenix! I'm bias to talk about this car because I have one Opel Astra myself, but I think it's a beautiful car!

Cheers

LS

Wow, your work is unblemished! Great job. I really like the CF on the sides and rear of the car, nice detail.

Well done,

Rick

Wow, awesome work! Great job with the paint and decals, and the CF. I especially like the CF on the headlight buckets. Awesome!

Re: Completed: Opel Astra DTM Team Pheonix

I wish I had seen your build before I built this same car. Fantastic CF use. Did you cross drill the rotors yourself or use PE? I don't remember the rotors in the kit being cross drilled. Either way, kudos on the fantastic job!
