Tamiya 1/24 Mercedes C Class DTM Sonax/Tabac

Post by Paul »

Tamiya 1/24 Mercedes C Class DTM Sonax/Tabac.

As always i forget something, 1 to paint the centre locks on the rims and 2 the windscreen decal decided to to move. Both fixed now. Hard to see the colour here but it varies from black to blue/green in different light.

Primed in Ultimate Modelling Products White primer, painted in my own mix of Tamiya X-25, X13 and X1 until i was happy with the colour, if i did it again i would add some more x13 to make it slightly more blue.
The kit decals went down well and once set a couple coats of Mipa 2k were sprayed. All sprayed through my Ultimate Apex airbrush :)

Out the box bar the fabric belts, great kit to build although theres not all that much to see with the engine cover removed, at least this one fits pretty well.

Cool, love the racing display pictures
The front angles with the grill and big bumper make this car look mean and aggressive :thumb2:
Another beauty from you :clap:

DTM cars are very striking, and your model is no exception. Nice clean work and wonderful presentation

Stunning work as always Paul, that really does give a sense of "weight" in a couple of those shots.

Serious beast! :clap:

Very nice job Paul, love the side angles with that snow plow bumper, just looks like a race car.
