WIP: Opel Astra DTM

Thought you guys would like this. Close to finished, needs rear wing, and lights, and various decals... I must say.. the gullwings are very cool, but they are challenging to get done properly!!!! Complete SMS CF decal kit installed on all the panels.

Very nice build. Those doors are so cool. I have the Holzer one sitting in my cupboard waiting for me to build. I think i will get some some CF first though. Looks ver yworth while, especially as the doors open. I know to ask for advice from when i make it anyway.
Keep up the good work.

Wow looks great, still looking for this kit at a good price. One thing is I am not a huge fan on the black panel lines, I find black a little too harsh.

Re: WIP: Opel Astra DTM

Very nice, make sure you show us some updated pics when it is completely finished

What did you think of the SMS templated decals? I was going to get some but noticed SMS are charging a premium over and above the cost of the plain decals. When Mathew first launced the template sets I recall he said they would be the same cost as two sheets of decals. That went out the window quickly it seems. Excuse me, I seem to be ranting I feel better now

Thanks guys...
Phil,
The CF kit was a 6 on a scale of 10, I really did not understand some of the template shapes were way off..... I wish they included interior CF on the sheet. I made some of my own inside the car to compensate.

You mean there are no interior templates on the sheet? I though that was 50% of the point!
