How do you think - how many opening doors C-Class DTM has? Does anybody have pictures of this Merc with open doors?

little ot:
Just I wonder why revell choosed to make these ugly (and hard to make, specially the black audi in half flat/gloss finishing) versions of the DTM cars.

I want to build the deutsche post yellow mercedes and the winning-since-a-life audi a4 redbull.
Saw the patto's decal and saw how crap they are (half are missing) and had to redraw all alone, once again, but in my showcase want the nicest (imo) liveries of these racers.

ot end.

They probably choose those cars because they were able to get the legal rights without any headaches.Also the Trilux car has a semi finish on it aswell according to the pictures I posted here!
I want to build the yellow Deutsche Post aswell(already have the decals) but you have to do alot of modifications to the kit to make it a 2008 spec car like the rear wing & below the sidedoors but most is similar to the 2009,its waiting in the ranks for me along with Ralf Schumacher's(Laureus-chrome car) & Paul Di Resta's AMG.
I also looked at the decals from Patto's & yeah your right too that some of the decals are missing on the Red Bull like the Red Bull decals from the rear wing & I also looked at Tomcycks car & has missing decals too which are the "strong & natural"from the sides & "Das Cola von Red Bull" from the back of the car.Plus by the sounds of it they also seem too thick too but I still might get them & play around with them!

the redbull cola Audi gave me a lot of headaches, cause I made the BIG mistake to use the Patto's decals as a guide, when the actual car is really different.

Since that day, ONLY pictures of the real things to make custom decals.
Nearly the same for the deutsche post Merc: too many logos are missing, and I really dunno why, so I also made the Postbrief version.

1 months of trashed work on the colacar,but now I can make a correct winning redbull audi

btw...any idea on how to make the flat effect with glossy decal letters?
I absolutely dunno.

Easy way to do it is to paint the flat black, polish it out as you would, then put the decal that is glossy on top of the flat. It will appear glossy. Just make sure to trim any excess film, as it will appear glossy, too.

Any interior pics? Also, any better detail sets for it yet?

thank you gasdriver for these sharp pictures. You are putting me on the spot now---making me posting a WIP, I will definitely take some pics in progress, but my skill is nowhere close to you guys. lets see how it turns out, if its terrible i rather hide it from embarassing myself. I guess these are the only ones available out there. good thing to see all of you are doing the same project as i looked at several forums, only very few people are working on it. If any one can provide interior and opening hoods, door, trunk will be wonderful.

thanks

I found some pics on flikr I think that you can only link to (not save as) these pics. It's one of the interior and a few of the engine/suspension.

PM me if you'd like the links.

You can get these kits here ok in the US.!costs around $29.I got all of these kits already from e-bay,just waiting for the Mclaren F1 kits of Hamilton & Button to appear at a decent price.

I have the Shunko decals & have studied them & they are all there,they even supplied the "Wings of Life" decals as extra if you want to add them to the car as seen in later DTM races.

i think what he means is if they will be packed in US version, I called them they say these and the SLS won't be packed in US version. and I don't see them go cheaper than $40 in the model shop, and wont be cheaper in ebay with shipping for now.
