TOPIC:

As I am digging through the Tamiya history, I am stumbling about interesting special items. For example, I found out about:
50464 Mercedes DTM body set "Berlin 2000"
50465 Mercedes DTM body set "Diebels Alt"
50483 BMW DTM body set "Autotech"
Are there more of those special body sets, i.e. liveries that were only released as a separate body set and not as a complete kit with chassis?
I browsed the database but such items are hard to identify, even those 3 can't be found by using one search phrase. It seems as if you just have to know about the details of that items.

All what I know about these bodies it is they were option sponsoring. Hop up bodies set. I never seen personally full kits with these decals set.

search on Tamiya USA for DTM body set brings up these or just body set

All body sets are listed in the Parts Database.
You can filter to view only the spare parts (5 digit) and Body sets,like this search:
tamiyabase.com/...body+parts

The DTM word will not give all "DTM" bodies, as Tamiya does not use "DTM" in all the part name.

Thanks, it looks as if the 3 bodykits are the only "special" ones.

I believe they also got mentioned in the vintage tamiya video's I uploaded a couple of weeks ago.

Just saw that the "Diebels Alt" livery will be re-released as complete kit #50638
