Great build! I just sourced myself one of this kits... so excited! Now I would like to ask where did you find your reference photos? I've been trying to find it online but they are all just exterior, any interior and engine bay shots from the internet? Cheers

Outstanding Job!
I'm so glad I found this website because the amount of talent here is fantastic! I have learned so many new techniques from you builders.
Keep up the great work! I'll be watching as I try to apply these techniques to my builds.
Thanks

I have to admit, i´m not that experienced in detailing race cars. Maybe i would take some bare-metal stripes and super-glue.

Rye 21 - Ok, I will keep the wire thickness. This is the "plastispirit" finish without reference, just enjoy the modeling...

Duncan1098 - Thank you!

astonut - Unfortunately no photos so far, it is very hard to find inside cars pictures from this era. Just let your imagination work for you...

cameraboy5 - Thank you! I have learned a lot here too.

Here is the decal job done

Back license plate

A little sand to thin the plate

Here is the front license plate supplied by Tamiya and final piece

This wire job got me crazy

The book just arrived! It's great and have a lot of information and pictures.

The interior is CF, mine was painted... I won't change it.


It's a must for DTM fans, very hard to find it but if you find, buy it.
Finished and glued.

Hi Fabio, it is and I found it here AbeBooks. I hope you have the same luck I had.

I´m still admiring this paint and decal job.

Will you add the CF you see in the reference pictures to your build - f.ex. on the middle console...?

[AAlmeida]

Robert - Thank you. No I won't, mine was painted black... the book arrived few days ago and the interior is almost done, so I won't change this time.

Small reportage about what is happening. First the front dropped and the paint cracked up the headlight, I have to mask very carefully because of decal already applied.


and the repaint done


As everything is being an experience, right and wrong, I will to add the side light instead to paint the piece. So, when I opened the hole the bare-metal gone, and I have to start over again. Picked a 0.80mm fishing line and paint with Tamiya orange clear, we will see how it looks after installation, but I liked the result so far.


Tomorrow I will have new pictures. Thank you and let your comment.

Mikezibit - Thank you!

Almost finish the interior, new pictures.

I painted those white marks on the turn signal switch

and the rev red light on the dashboard was made with fishing line painted with Tamiya Clear Red.

Yesterday was a sunny day and I thought I could apply the clear coat today, but an incredibly this fourth weekend followed that rain.
