24 Hour Service 2000 DTM Mercedes
I thought I would start on a Touring Car and decided to get into a Tamiya DTM C Class Mercedes. I have had the kit and decals for a long time so rather than doing the D2 car that the kit is I will do Pedro Lamy's 24 Hour Service version. So far all I have done is get most of the body faring on and a light mist of white primer put the cage together and then sanded all the sink marks, which there are plenty. I think this will stay OOB and I will decide if I even go with some CF decal in the engine area.

Re: 24 Hour Service 2000 DTM Mercedes
I'm glad you've chosen this one Shayne, I've been feeling a bit touring car-ish myself. I've not seen this scheme before and it's always good to see a car in a scheme that does not come in the kit.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers

Re: 24 Hour Service 2000 DTM Mercedes
Well how is this for pulling one out from the archives...I was looking for something to paint after wrapping up the Reynard and this jumped out at me. I have to say i do not enjoy painting white with rattle cans, i always seem to stuff it up some how. So with the new Tamiya LP paints i thought lets go with the airbrush and see how it works....I do like them a lot, they are great to use and easy to spray with i mixed mine with around 10% acrylic thinner.

Good paint job, have the LP colours too, but till today i was not able to test them. Your result is an inspiration, keep it comin!
Take a stand!

Very nice paintjob with the LP paint, might have to try it myself. And the decals look really good too
