martinfan5 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Everyone seems to call that red one the "DEKRA" car when Dekra is just a sponsor of the DTM series in general. The car itself is sponsored by Alfa Corse - it was the factory backed racing team.I gonna be honest, I did not know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltsr Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 These are wonderful kits to assemble (can you say Tamiya? ) - there is full suspension detail even though most is hidden from view. I'm glad they haven't reissued the Martini version, or I could have saved a lot of money buying one off Ebay and sourcing aftermarket decals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoping the 96 versions get a reissue too, there are few liverys I would like to do that are for the 96's . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancheroSteve Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Nice kits! I built the Alfa Corse version some years back: It goes together just like a Tamiya kit usually does. Maybe the only tricky thing is getting the hood to stay closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTJUNIOR Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I have the original factory team kit in my stash. Been saving it to do a super detailed build. I may have to get myself the reissue as my decal set is trashed. Maybe get two or three of them and build the entire factory team along with the development mule. The 155's dominated DTM until they changed the rules, effectively banning the Alfa's. I'm as happy as a pig in $#!t. This is great news.

Junkman Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Maybe the only tricky thing is getting the hood to stay closed. How's that for authentically replicating a real Alfa Romeo?Tamiya, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socal76 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) malstr, can you provide info on the Martini decals? Would rather do that than either of the other two, but if they are not available I will go with the Jeager version.

They're in the Martini version of the kit, which as I said a few posts ago is being reissued next month.
