62rebel Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 are you referring to the iconic 1968-76 1602/2002 coupes? I have been hunting ANY kind of decent kit of that series car for YEARS, as I used to own several 1:1's...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerPlant Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) I must see this! Pics, please (I don't see any) I've been hoping for a styrene BMW 2002 in 1/24 or 1/25 scale for many a year now... But, according to Wikipedia, these MiniZ cars are more like 1/27 scale... And not quite sure I understood, but are you making a RC out of it, or will you be building a static display model with full interior and/or engine detail, based off the RC car? Like I said before, some pics would be great Thanks in advance, I'm very curious about this car...

_TRF_ Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Sorry mates, for the pics - the link does not work, so i uploaded them in the first entry. Yes, it's the famous BMW 2002 Coupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_TRF_ Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 The MiniZ have a scale of 1/27, but the chassis can easliy be used for bodies in 1/24. The cars will be driven on my MiniZ racetrack and are no static models. They got no inside details like cockpit and motor. I just use the body, modify the chassis wheelbase to fit the body on it, which is quite often a challange. My intention for those projects is that i will get detailed racecars. I have many 1/10 RC/cars, but those lexan bodies aren't very detailed. The original MiniZ bodies are great, but those cars i love aren't available on the market. So i have to build my own. pics added in the first post.... - sorry the link didn't work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffs396 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Looks COOL so far! So are these 2002 bodies available currently, or was this a one-off, or??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonW Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Great project! Bandai did a 2002 turbo in 1/20 scale, a good kit except for the too skinny wheels and tyres - but the standard 1:1 suffered those too! I never finished mine as I modded the body to include the flared arches on my Alpina 1:1 and in the process of sanding the filler, snapped the roof pillars - and I could never found a set of wheels and tyres to do it justice so it stayed in the box! That was a long time ago but the kits are still around, if you google 'Bandai 2002 turbo' -Don. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbs99 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) My description image is of an xmod hummer, the mini z's cheaper cousin. Michael, have you ever considered of putting an old truck body on a mini z overland or xmod truck? Anyway, I can't wait to see the finished product. -Newbs99 Edited December 23, 2013 by Newbs99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_TRF_ Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Just an update: BMW project so far: The body is mounted on the chassis and is painted in the 'Niki Lauda' colors Nürburring 1970. Some detail paintings are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_TRF_ Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 I can proudly present the miniZ version of Niki Lauda's BMW 2002 ti driven 1970 on the Nürburgring. It's a MiniZ MR015 2.4 Ghz with a 1/24 resine body. The car fits perfectly to my 1/24 rc-car collection of classic touring cars. Hope you like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
