Here is a Tamiya mercedes benz from the 2000 DTM season driven by
Bernd Schneider.
This build was a dream to put together had no fit issues at all.
painted in Tamiya sprays using TS-17 silver and TS-29 gloss black.
The decals would scare any new modeller as theres so many of the D2 decals to add to the car.alls that i have added was AM seat belts and some carbon fiber prints to the cockpit.
enjoy

Awesome model Karl. Paintjob looks really good. I'm particularly impressed by the D2 decals.

Great Mercedes Karl, You have managed to metallize a body and decal over it, cleanly and without difficulty..... an impressive feat!

Hello Karl,
Man she turned out sweet, great job on the decals. Silver paints are one of the harder to lay down, and to get smooth, you did a super job with yours. I was really interested in the photos of the interior roll cage. Tamiya sure does a great job in the Auto department, I’d like to see them get in to NASCAR
Great Job,
Joe
