Newsletter 690: M4 GT3 2022November 20^th, 2025

We know that we will have to be patient, and that just as Nunu has accustomed us, it will be a long gestation process... but it is such a desirable model, and with so many possibilities, that we have not been able to resist the temptation of announcing it now. At the moment, it seems that the version chosen is the one that won the DTM Championship in 2022, with driver Sheldon van der Linde at the wheel. We just hope that Nunu doesn't take as long as on other occasions, although in our heads we are already putting it together.

Detailing set to improve the final finish of your Nunu BMW M4 GT3 kit. The set includes two photo-etched sheets with elements such as the air intake grilles, the rear spoiler supports, the brake discs or the interior safety nets. It is also planned to include decals with some carbon fiber patterns, although it is yet to be confirmed for which parts.

His teammate, Stephen South, had a poor start to the season, with many retirements, but was able to turn the season around in its second half, achieving victory in the round held at Hockenheim in June. Derek Daly's absence was covered on two occasions by the already F1 driver Keke Rosberg, who took victory in the round held at Hockenheim in early April.

For a flawless paint finish, the condition of your tools is essential, and your brushes are no exception. This new brush conditioner from Tamiya helps keep your brush tips in optimal condition. This brush maintenance should not only be performed before storing your brushes for a long period of time, but also for daily maintenance. The conditioner's formula prevents the brush tip from fraying, while its adhesive ingredients harden it to prevent it from warping during storage. It's very simple to use. After washing and drying your brush, apply the conditioner and spread it well over the brush hairs. Then, wipe it well with a tissue or similar to remove excess adhesive and shape the tip. Your brush is now ready for storage. Before using the brush again, gently massage the tip.
