JasonC Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I built this about 4 years ago. As anyone who has built this model before, they know it sucks in the detail department... I added LEDs for the headlights and tail lights. The wheels are from a Dodge Daytona kit, and the front airdam is from a BMW e24 kit along with the pin stripes. I can't remember what kit the rear apron is off of. Maybe the Fujimi Hartge BMW e30. i did a quick search and didn't see many of this kit posted. So i thought i'd toss mine up. First picture is to show what it looks like in light eventhough it isn't finished in it, Now for the finished ones. They are about 2 years old though... I kind of made the car look like a real e30 that i had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shucky Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Jason cool model and the 1:1 is simply stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby 427 1965 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Cool model, it sucks this kit is so inaccurate, you've made a fine job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nxr Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Correct me if i am wrong but were these styles and years of BMW (e 30, e 32,e 34) the last true German designed cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thank you, and i think that Chris Bangle (an American) was the design cheif soon after these cars where done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Very nice build, as said the lights are a nice touch. The rear lights are particularly good. I think the tool designers for the kit might have failed to appreciate that these 'boxy' BMWs have practically no straight edges on them anywhere! I've never had an E30 (yours looks nice) but I had 2 E28s and those straight lines are not as straight as they look... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, the car may look like a brick at first, but get looking at it, there are a lot of rounded edges. And funny thing about this kit. The headlights has holes from the factory that the LEDs fit rite in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMPALA SS 427 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Very cool, I like the LED Lights it adds a nice touch... Edited May 28, 2013 by IMPALA SS 427 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerPlant Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) These Fujimi BMW kits are horrible, unfortunately, but what you did with them lights is something else! Are those Dutch plates on the 1:1 car, BTW? Edited May 28, 2013 by PowerPlant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Are those Dutch plates on the 1:1 car, BTW? I had a Scottish plate on it. Since i put "euro" bumpers on it, it looked odd without a tag up there. And since everyone puts a german plate on theirs, i wanted to do something a little different..
