Jhedir6 Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 I did a quick review and contents pics which can be seen here so I won't flood this wip with a lot of pics of the raw parts. Kit looks very good, a better offering than the first BMW M6 that they released a couple years ago now. This kit was due to be out last June? but kept getting pushed back, my guess is due to Audi's final approval as there have been build ups of the box stock builds floating around since late last summer. No flash, no gnarly mold lines, only two injector pins on the underside of the body to remove, a big improvement from their first GT3 car. Paint will likely just be Tamiya paints that I have on hand. I have some TS silver I'll decant for the body and the rest will be blacks from Tamiya's LP line. Since I have the detail up set, I wont be adding any aftermarket items other than some extra detail decals on the tires. Progress in a few hours I hope.
Rich Chernosky Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 This kit is on my "want bad" list. I will be following your build.
Jhedir6 Posted February 17, 2020 Author Posted February 17, 2020 Small update. Everything is painted. Body is TS30 decanted and airbrushed, the rest of the components are mainly black (TS14 again decanted and airbrushed). The cockpit and rollcage are also TS30 (no pics, nothing to see yet. Decals started on the body. Many many many more to go, there's something like 100+ on the whole kit, if using the detail up set, the chassis has 13 CF decals. Decal quality is very good and they lay down quite nicely with little to no solvents needed. I only really used any on the edges to help them fold over where needed. This is pretty much where I am at now. More later today I hope.

I need to start pestering Michael from Indycals to make some decals for the #44 Magnus Racing car that won GTD at the 2016 Daytona 24. Ben
Jhedir6 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Posted March 2, 2020 An update.....been busy and lagging behind on this build, but some more decals done none the less.... Please excuse the background, I've been picking away at this at work when I can so the background is my laptop. I still have all the small decals to go but it's starting to take shape. Hoping to have some more done this week....life has been hectic this past couple weeks. Thanks for looking in.
