Revell DTM cars are available

[mattbacon]

...just a quick heads up -- the Audi 2009 DTM racer is now available. I saw a lot in Modelzone in London yesterday, but I didn't buy one, because I was travelling light to a meeting and didn't have anywhere to put it! However, the box feels nicely heavy and full..

I'm sure it won't be long before someone gets some pictures on here...

bestest,
M.

Just placed my order for the Audi and Mercedes, should have them in a few days i hope

I work for Tamiya Model Magazine and will be building one of these for the mag. The one I have is the Schieder Audi I believe, looks quite a foxy wagon with its matt black bodywork...
The kit itself looks quite nice, lots in the box including carbon decals for the rear wing. Looks a bit like Revell have moved their game on a bit with these, but will reserve judgement until I have got it together to see parts fitment and overall ride height, track width etc. But from opening the box and seeing what's inside, I'm pretty pumped about cracking this one out!
Cheers,

Can't wait.....!

Got mine yesterday.
The parts fit looks good, however all the positioning pins and bits used for this have added to the negative side of the kit and the body is full of sink marks (at least in my kit).

Hello all,

got my Kit today. Some Parts are disappointing, especially the Body: Plastic is thin (good), but the roof has some sinkmarks and bubbles:


The single frame grille is very simple, no separate Mesh is included.....












(Front windshield not shown above, I made a test, how it fits)

Hi Daniel,

thanks for this very intresting review.
These are the first pictures I see from the new Revell Kit.

I think that the the fitment is on the same good level as the Ferrari California.

I LOVE REVELL!!!!

It's got an engine!! Reminds me a little of the early Tamiya DTM kits.

I can't wait to get mine, but my LHS messed up with my order , so now have to wait

I have to say a thanks to mattbacon for the heads up on modelszone stocking them. They're usually quite stagnant at updating their stock but they seem to have a bit more variety now. Picked mine up and waiting on the Merc to make it's appearance.

I don't know if it's just with a few kits but mine has no sign of sink marks and only a few areas that need flash clean up.

So, any updates?

I'm curious about the Schieder (the one pictured by Nudel) car, if it's a true flat black or if it's more semi-gloss. I've seen some reference pics but can't tell that well. (In the pics, it's overcast and raining...)

Still trying to decide between the Scheider Audi and the Paffet MB...hmm...

Thanks!

Daniel

Instructions call for sily-matt black which might be translated to a satin or semi-gloss black. I don't think flat black would be correct.

I got all four. Although i'll probably wait for some photo etch to build any. The Audi especially could benefit from a new grill

Nudel - thanks for the pics of the kit - I will place my order with my local hobby contact - John
