Roadkill2525 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Im putting the '55 Bel Air away while I slowly gather up the parts, so I got this out. The kit is a bit rough and lacks detail so I'll try my hand at a little weathering. I'll be white with the BMW Motorsport colours, for the interior Im thinking dark grey or medium tan.

Nick F40 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Neato I had to click on it when I saw the title, always loved these BMW's. I wanted to buy one of these kits but for some reson haven't, some say it ain't that great, but never seen it built so i'll be watching Love the paint scheme plans
Roadkill2525 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) Im going to make it a Alpina styled E21, might go with some XS Tuning Street S17 in chrome. Got the body and hood painted, Tamiya Light Gunmetal. I'll try polishing before I clear it. Edited April 18, 2009 by El Destructo Inc
LVZ2881 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 that combo of the gunmetal and chrome rims will be stunning!!!
Roadkill2525 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) Got the bumber trim done, side markers are BMF with Tamiya Clear Orange. I'll have pictures of the engine later. Edited April 18, 2009 by El Destructo Inc
Nick F40 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Wow this is coming along nicely, your really makin it look nicer than the box art.
Roadkill2525 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) Engine mockup pic!!! Still needs some details and don't know if I'll do the plug wires. Edited April 18, 2009 by El Destructo Inc
ajulia Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Hello there friend! I enjoy yer posts alot and the clean look you put into yer projects is top- notch. Keep on wit the keepin on!! peace ajulia
Nick F40 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Engine is clean and I wouldn't bother with the wires, you wouldn't really see them anyway.
Roadkill2525 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) Not much this weekend, mainly because I was at the shooting range hurting my shoulder. Did get the engine done on Friday. Edited April 18, 2009 by El Destructo Inc
Nick F40 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Wow, the engine came out nice! You shoulda asked me for a turbo!
LVZ2881 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Michael, that engine turned out great!!! what did you use for the intake/exhaust, metallizers???
Roadkill2525 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) Michael, that engine turned out great!!! what did you use for the intake/exhaust, metallizers??? Forgot to mention that the chassis pan and suspension is done, just need to find a good dark tan for the interior. Pretty much the whole engine is done in rattlecan metalizers. I haven't done to well with airbrushing it, then again I haven't tried with my new airbrush. Block - Gunmetal w/ Dullcote Exhuast - Aluminium Plate w/ Dullcote Intake - Magnesium Turbo - Titanium w/ Stainless Steel runners Edited August 18, 2008 by El Destructo Inc
Roadkill2525 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) A long time since I updated this build. Got a new interior bucket and hopefully the final time I change the wheels. Fujimi 15in Watanabe and part box brakes Edited April 18, 2009 by El Destructo Inc

Fujimi 15in Watanabe and part box brakes this thing is sick man, you cannot go wrong with Watanabe's! are those from the Tamiya Datsun 240Z? Edited September 17, 2008 by Nick F40

Nick F40 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 ahhh yes those seperate packs, but this is what I'm talking about which apparently has the same wheels and tires. you can't really see the wheels but trust me on this I will take pics if you want
Roadkill2525 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Posted April 18, 2009 While Im waiting for some .5mm 1/2rd styrene from the hobby shop, I'll see if I can finish this. Im using the seats from the '41 Willys street rod and looking for a new color for the interior, any ideas would be helpful.
red70 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 I'm just finishing the same model I painted mine Mythical Maroon i love it cant wait to see yours when its done
FujimiLover Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 While Im waiting for some .5mm 1/2rd styrene from the hobby shop, I'll see if I can finish this. Im using the seats from the '41 Willys street rod and looking for a new color for the interior, any ideas would be helpful. I would suggest useing Model Master's from Testors, Light Ivory. It is the color I'm useing on my Koenig Specials Testarossa and I bet it'll look great on the inside of your BMW! Or, two-tone gray it like I did my Mazda RX7. I'd go for the Ivory, gives it that nice ritch leather look of luxury cars!
Roadkill2525 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 Update time ugly USDOT bumpers foiled Dunlop tires from R-M 78' El Camino, stock Suzuki Cappuccino wheels, brakes from XS Tuning wheel set. (forgot about the holes in the rotor) rub strip and tail light panel and mock up
