Hello all,
It's been a while since I last posted, got a little to bogged down with adding extra detail to builds that I just haven't finished. So I thought it best just to step away for a bit. With that done I'm back lol. I've gone back to cars and jumped from the Tamiya ship to the Revell ship as I do like to watch the DTM races. My first attempt was the Gary Paffet Merc which was coming a long a treat untill the muppet typing this went to clean up the large bonnet decal as there was a blob of softning solution left wiped that away and took a chunk of decal and a bit of paint making it beyond repair. So lesson learnt leave decal solution to dry fully first lol.
So with that all said and done I've started the Audi and I'll get a replacement Paffet merc later.
Sorry forgot to do the start photos as I just got stuck in lol.
For this build I'm going back to basic's no extra detail like carbon fibre decals, no resin extra parts. Just a straight out of the box build and in truth I'm really enjoying it.
Here are a few photo's of what I've done so far.

Cockpit tub all built but the rollcage I've made so that I can remove it so that I have better access for painting, also doing it this way the rollcage is all square and straight ready to go back on when the times ready.
