Chris in Berwyn Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) This is based on the Hobby NuNu M6 GT3 race car. The kit is being featured in an article in the next issue of MCM (issue 222). I decided to turn it into a street-legal car and make it look like something you could actually see on the road. I filled in the scoops and ductwork on the hood, one on the sides, modified the rear pan/lower rear fenders to more closely match a stock M6, filled in the mounting slots for the rear wing, and reduced the size of the diffuser. It's painted in Tamiya metallic orange and topcoated in Tamiya clear. I added a stock interior from my parts box, and modified the dash to resemble a BMW dash. The wheels are from Aoshima, and the tires are Pegasus. It came out just about as I hoped - this would make an amazing "track day" car in real life!!

Zippi Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 That looks Super nice and the Tamiya metallic orange paint is really clean looking. The black accents really work nicely with the metallic orange. Lot of Great mods going on here. Great looking BMW M6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
