Although German-based, the DTM is a truly international series now and the cars here only feature one German driver, Ralf Schumacher. His is perhaps the most challenging of the liveries to replicate with the whole car having a carbon weave over it and this brightened with chrome highlights. Spark has done this well with no creases that we can see in the carbon decals. The sister AMG machine was driven by Jamie Green and had an all over chrome finish and again that is superbly applied. Most successful of the Mercedes drivers in 2012 was Gary Paffet who missed out on the title by just five points to BMW’s Bruno Spengler, the title being decided in the final race. This car has an interesting finish in that it is a multi-texture black base scheme, neatly done as usual. The final two cars of Canadian newcomer Robert Wickens and series regular Suzie Wolff have white lower panels with vibrant main body colours, red for Wickens’s Stern magazine sponsorship and pink for Wolff’s TV Spielfilm entry. As well as the excellent standard of finish, there’s plenty of fine detailing to enjoy too with lots of etch for the small aerodynamic devices.
