Dougboy Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Hello folks, Latest completed project. Kit is a BMW e36 318i Super Touring class race car which I've built as a modified street car. Paint used is Mr. Color Gx3 to replicate BMW hellrot, cleared with Tamiya TS13. Wheels are Aoshima Volks TE37rt. Cut out the grates in the front bumper and made a small lip with styrene and some putty. Everything else is out-of-box.

afx Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Very nice Edwin. The Touring Car and Tarmac Rally kits make a great basis for a hot street tuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Great looking BMW, the paint is super smooth looking. Got a little camber in the front end which I'm sure was by design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougboy Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Thank you all. The Super Touring Class 318 actually ran a lot of camber front and back, and the hubs on this hasegawa kit was already slanted to reflect that. Made it easier to go for that "stanced" look. The yellow lenses were just colored with a yellow sharpie. After sharpie'ing, I use a tiny brush and a bit of rubbing alcohol to smooth out the sharpie ink's unevenness and it becomes really clear and smooth.
