Mr Core Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Finished Revell's BMW 507 today. I had a lot of problems with this one, but in the end I'm pretty happy with the result. Here"s the finished product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I've been thinking about getting this kit beause I like the 1:1 car so much. What problems did you have with yours? Looks like it turned out well despite whatever issues it may have had. Way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Core Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Thank you guys I've been thinking about getting this kit beause I like the 1:1 car so much. What problems did you have with yours? Well first of all I had to redo the paintjob twice (my bad) I don't know if that is the cause, but many of my plated parts didn't fit very well. Therefore I decided to cut the body to make them fit and, of course, it broke. I also have a floating wheel. Checked the chassis but didn't find any mistakes I made. The major issue is the poor fiting of the plated parts. If you decide to strip them, make them fit and repaint every chrome part, it is possible to make a very nice car out of it.

MonoPed Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Very nice!! I have this kit hiding in the pile, cool to see another one built, and built well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Great build on one of the coolest automotive designs of all time. What paint did you use? That's somewhat close to what I want to use on my Maserati 3500 GTi, though I can't find anything just like this picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Core Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Thank you guys for the comments @sjordan The color is Tamiya Light Gun Metal. I think it is a bit too bright for your Maserati according to that picture. But it is in my opinion perfect for these kind of cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegt738 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 One of the nicest BMWs ever made, and your build looks great. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gibbons Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Skip, Testor's Graphite Metallic (assuming they still make that color) might be a good match. I built a '59 Eldorado for a friend using that color, and I was happy with the results. Looks great with a red interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
