[DasWiesel]

Those are some serious panel line trenches on that body. Someone could trip and fall into one, and be lost wandering them for weeks.

Otherwise it's a great looking kit. Nice detail on the engine block, probably better than I would have expected given the lack of availible references. I like the rings on the intake plenums. Sweet set of Cartografs, my favorite part of Revell Germany's recent releases.

Looks like it'll build up great. All right Julian- let's see you put it together!

Thank the Lord (of your choice) it's not the same wheel/hub system as found on their road cars. Gives me hope for the R8 kit. Anyone seen that one yet?

[klutz_100]

I want one and I want it now!!!!!

Thank God (also of your choice) that the vents are molded OPEN!!!

The wheels look pretty good as well. Where did you purchase this?

Revell decals shoul be from Zanchetti if I'm not wrong, a step behind Cartograf, to me. Anyway decent

Guys: they're improoving molds, not yet at Japs level, but becoming good.

I'm not impressed by those brakes..... are they following Tamiya's way speaking of aftermarket details???

Me too! Even if I can't or don't build it right-a-way, I still want it right now.
In fact, I would say I feel more like I NEED it!

PS: Julian, would you please check those rims size? They seems smaller to me than Techonodel speedlines... just an impression?

Holy crap!! Audi model kits FTW!!! Are the decals for the CF just black? Congratulations on your purchase

Could be. I saw Italy and assumed Cartograf, as Revell certainly has been supplying Cartograf markings with some of their kits. Some say Cartograf, and others just say Italy.

Either way, I will agree it is something Italians do better!

Excuse me!!!! The China Tour decals were designed in Italy but printed in Poland!!!

Hello all,

I saw the kit a few days ago in my favorite toys & modeling store.
but I'm waiting for the R8 kit from revell so didn't bought it (why would I have bought it I don't build and collect such LM cars... )

nevertheless I took some pictures of the car in Paris during the last "mondioal de l'automobile".
there was an engine, too, shown out of the car, but I really doubt it's exactly the race engine.

If some one is interested in the pics, let me know...

Phil

PS: for me Zanchetti are the best decals ever, especially for 1/43 kits, provided with racing43 models.

I may need to get this one also.

There´s still to much on my to-do list and i´m not going to start this, before finishing other (Yes, i really try to! )

Exactly what i was thinking!

@Gio
You´re right, brake detail is not worth to be mentioned. Wheels have a diameter of 2cm.

Saw it in a toy-store today. If you want to buy it online, Nimpex and Moduni already have it in stock.

Nicely made CF-decal. SMS wouldn´t make them better


Part fitment is not the best. Will need alot of work to make a decent model. Engine lid was a bit warped, i already pushed it up a bit.
