2005 Audi A4 DTM Wide Release?

[soulstice]

I've been wanting to get my hands on this german only release of this body but I've been hestitant because I live in the uS and don't speak a word of german. Anyways I was surfing on the net and stumbled on this page at Hobby Link Japan(HLJ) showing a Nov. release date.

I thought the A4 DTM was a german exclusive but it looks like it might get wide release if tamiya is also gonna sell it in japan. Anyone have additional information?

the audi a4 dtm on tt01 which is sold here in germany seems to be the 2004 version and it's bodyshell is made by carson.

tamiya announced the audi a4 dtm 2005, so i don't think that it will be the same.

the bodyshells made by carson are not as nice and detailed as the tamiya bodies.

Yes, the Carson one isn't really a german exlusive Tamiya but a Tamiya chassis with a Carson body, made and sold by the German importer Dickie, glad to see them once again fall on their heads by having no clue about future releases and making a model which soon after is released by Tamiya, like also on Touareg and others.

Cheers
