Audi DTM - not my usual cup of tea

[maltsr]

After finishing the Revell '48 Ford, I started this for a change of pace - the Revell AG Audi driven by Tom Kristensen. The car is insane and I had to buy it as soon as I saw the rear arches/wings.

This kit is superb, I couldn't wait to get it finished. The parts fit and engineering are amazing, the kit decals are by Cartograph and a joy to use.

This is one of the most satisfying builds I have had since I built the 1949 Merc .

Is it missing a side rearview mirror?

I'm glad to hear that the engineering and parts fit are so good. I've see a few of these built and I still wonder at how on earth anybody would have the patience to build and decal one. They are such sharp cars I may have to get one of these kits.

Woah! I think I remember the build up of this. This is cool as can be.

With a car like this, there's no need to worry about what's behind you!

Actually, it's missing two rear view mirrors - the photos were taken at the weekend before the kit was finished. It now has a full complement of mirrors!

Thanks for the favourable comments everyone, you can tell I really enjoyed this kit.

Great looking Audi.

Nice work..

I don't know if all of the canards and winglets actually improve the aero. They sure do look cool on the DTM cars. Your model is spectacular. Well done and thanks for sharing.

I have yet to see one the newer models being done, so this came out great! It looks as crazy as the 1:1. I love the work on the "steps" lol

[Greg Pugh]

Wow. That's not my usual cup of tea either but that's a nice looking model. You did great!

[Peter Lombardo]

It looks great....it is one of my "cups of tea". I have this one and the Mercedes "brother" to it. Neither one started, but both on the schedule. You did a great job on it. I will be very happy if mine looks as good.
