Tamiya 1/24 CLK DTM D2

[Wendall]

Hi All,

Next to emerge from the Man Cave is this offering. It has been on the bench for what seems like a lifetime, mainly due to the monumental decal job which has taken hours and a tanker load of microsol. Annoyingly the colour started to bleed on some of them and there are still some that haven't laid down as nicely as I would have liked but she's been clear coated and polished now so that's as good as it gets.

However from an assembly point of view this kit was an absolute joy, I may have to get another in a simpler livery. Anyway hope you like!

Jason

That's really good Jason. The decals must have tried your patience a bit .... I had that clk shell for a RC car years ago and putting the stickers on sent me crazy

5 stars from me mate.

That is de-luxe Jason. As Colin says the decals must be a great pain but rewarding when finished.

Some really great stuff appearing on this forum & this is one of them. Looks as though I will have to try & up my game.

Thanks Guys,

Colin, I'm glad you understand my pain! It did nearly drive me nuts.

Laurie, the standards on this forum are great, thats what prompted me to join and looking at the quality you all turn out demonstrates to me what is possible along with the excellent tutorials and threads it has encouraged me to really up my game.
