We have a winner!

Not a subject I would normally be interested in, but it is a BMW and I do like the fender flairs and all. I'll be looking for one of these for sure.

Hi,

Wow I bet the engine will look sweet.

What engine?  It is curbside

Doh!

Dam - curbsides again!  I said it before about the 2002tii and will again - this is definitely one kit that should have engine detail. 

Maybe there's hope. Scale Production did a resin transkit to provide complete underhood detail for the Belkits Ford Escort. Its amazing - full engine compartment, inner fenders, etc, with your choice of Ford BDA or Lotus Twin-cam.  I have already suggested they do one for the the BMW 2002.

Can't disagree with you.  Even if on the level of the Revell 3 series from the late 70's.

Sweet, remember a bunch of these back in the early 80's when I worked at a BMW dealer. Might have to save my lunch money for one of these!

[62rebel]

Square tail lights! I'm definitely interested now.

Finally is all I can say! Even for a curbside kit

[dublin boy]

Matija, if you can find a Revell US Spec E21 3 series kit, it has the right engine, and the one I have built from back in the day has an optional turbo, not sure if the all have them though.

How's tricks?

Thanks for the tip, Shay

Does anyone put out a non-turbo version of the 2002 as a kit? You know, one with no stripes or wheel flares. One with bumpers.

If you read the first post, Jonathan referenced the 2002 tii version that is already out. I believe he's also shared photos of it under construction and finished.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. The model you posted the link to Tucker. That is sweet. I like the purity, the clean look, of those late 60's, early 70's BMWs.

My name isn't Tucker, unless yours is Minneapolis 

[unclescott58]

Sorry about that. What is your name than?

Bob Downie. It's in my signature under every post. You have signatures turned off?

I figured that must be the case; I never view this forum on my phone.

99% of the time I'm viewing this site via my iPad. That may explain why I'm not see your signature?

I can't speak to the iPad, but on my phone all I see is the avatar, the name of the person, "Members" (which is the group the person belongs to - as opposed Moderator or Administrator) and their post count.
