Platz/NuNu Hobbies BMW M6 1/24 scale plastic model kit

[Junkman]

What was hitherto deemed impossible has happened!
A model kit making company has released new model kits, it has emerged.
According to well informed circles this is tantamount to commercial suicide.

Huh?

Thought this was released last fall? ( the Spa Francorchamps version that is)

[Junkman]

Not that I know of. The Falken version is deffo new.
I hope they follow this up with some Le Mans versions.

Yes the Falken version is new.

Falken version is a minor revision to the first kit which adds the specific fender cooling vents that are only run at Nurburgring regardless to series (VLN, ADAC GT Masters, and 24hrs). 

There is a further kit that will be coming in September with Team Italia Blancpain livery that will add a few specific parts for the Sprint configuration (which adds C/F inserts for the fog lights as the primary visual change).

FWIW these reissues as well as their new tool 911 RSR GT3 were covered in the Shizouka Hobby Show thread as they made their debut at that show.

There are no Le Mans versions. This year's BMW entries were BMW M8s, they did not have entries in 2016 or 2017. BMW made the decision late last year to keep the M6 as a GT3/GTD customer racing platform and make the M8 their LMGTE class car.

Like pointed out, this is a simple modified reissue

T'was hoping for a c.1986-1988 model M6 , preferably Euro-Spec , and further , an Alpine [sic ?] .

'87-'89 would be the mild refresh models. Fujimi made an '86 Alpina as part of their Enthusiast Series 635s.
