1957 BMW 507

[Reeves Racing]

Revell kit. I added piping on the dash, door panels and around the inserts on the seats as well as plug wires, fuel lines and flocking for carpet. I also sanded the back off of the solid grill inserts and made real grills from 030 wire.
DupliColor paint and clear exterior and ModelMasters paint on the interior.

Nice work Mitch.

Great model. You don’t see that kit built very often. At least, I don’t. 

[Gramps46]

Well  done and thanks for sharing.

[Classicgas]

Nice.

Nice job on an old kit Mitch.

Looks great!

[Reeves Racing]

Thanks guys. It's a very well engineered kit. I had no issues. I did lower the suspension 2.5 mm in the front and 3 mm in the back. And its design lent itself to those modifications nicely.

Very nice!

Nice model. Not a color I would have chosen for such a flashy car, but it is not my model.  What you did with the grilles really makes a big visual difference.

Lovely rendition of a lovely car.

Nicely done. I have this one in my stash, would love to actually build some of these mid-century European cars because the designs are so classic.

Nice job adding subtle upgrades to the nice kit. Especially like the paint detailing on the chassis.

Probably not a color I would have chosen on the real car myself but the dark gray metallic was a very popular color for this car back in the day. Black, white and silver were the other popular colors. It's a European's Shelby Cobra. The muscle is understated and the refinement and class are more showcased. Not so much flashy as elegant.

A fantastic build, well done with the grill mod!
