Is little, muscular, orange and is the last effort from our friends from DNA Collectibles in 1:18 scale. Is limited to 320 pieces and never done in this configuration and in this scale before, so the Audi TT 3.2 V6 is from the start an exclusive model. Is made with care and to a high qualitative level to satisfy even the most exigent collector. I have the sample for a while and I'm happy to see the manufacturer keeps his traditional line of high quality and care for the final product. They chose the Papaya orange to dress up their creation and I personally believe is the best choice, the little scale model resulting vibrant and sportive.

Is very well put together, the windows are staying perfectly attached to the body, since this is a common issue for the resin models and all my attention is concentrated there, every time I'll take off the model from its box for the first time. No problems here and not marks of glue or other residues from the assembling line.
The details are close to the real thing and present every where was needed to put them. All the grills in the front side are perforated and keep the original design of the realcar, offering a great final note of realism. |
They used photo etched metallic parts for the generous logo and the "quattro" emblem and behind the low grill a painted piece can remember the radiator of the real car. The same thing for the back side emblems, legible and beautiful realised. The manufacturer had no difficulty to create realistic lights, great detailed in the front side and finished in the original titanium grey, with visible light bulbs and individually detailed turn signals. Only as a personal observation, after seeing some photos of the real car, for the rear lights the turn signals should be darker, even if the model keeps the right scheme and colouring. From the exterior must be mentioned the fuel cap, very good looking and finished, the final exhaust system and pipes, developed as individual parts, together with the textured diffuser around it. Very nice job and must remember the good quality of the plastic parts everywhere.
All around the body the panel gaps were great modeled and the general look of the model is awesome. The wheels are not rolling, have the right designed rims with a separate made metallic logo in the center, a subtle touch of fine detailing and keep behind the brakes, having the disks covered with a metallic coat for better realism. If is something I would like to change here are the calipers, too simple looking after all this work around.
Being already a very compact model, observing the interior is not very simple. But, everything is in place and very well finished as the producer already did before with all his models. I like the lack of gaps between parts or the mold tracks from the plastic surfaces, for many maybe not a big thing, but believe me very annoying when you look carefully and search for the best craftsmanship on your model. The model is sealed but this didn't stop the team to create an awesome interior: all the parts were painted in the original color, the switches are printed, we have fabric seat belts with metallic buckles, the rings from the ventilation are painted so well , you can believe for a moment that there is an aluminium piece and this works for the pedals and foot rest area, as well, the gauges are legible and the top feature is the metallic piece embodying the ignition. Awesome job DNA!
