Simon Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Hi all, My first contribution to this excellent forum. The standard of work posted here is a real inspiration, and there's always something new to look at. I bought this Revell (Germany) BMW 635CSi, and was disappointed to open the box and find that it builds up as a very early version. So, I decided to build it as a worn-out smoker with plenty of rust... Plain white enamel for the body, with tan enamel for the interior. The ride-height is a little high, the bonnet doesn't fit too well, and there are one or two bits missing in the engine bay, but otherwise the kit has grown on me so much I'm thinking of building a clean and polished version to go with it! Anyway, I hope you enjoy my rotten old coupe. I'm now building a Boss 429 - complete change of scene! Cheers folks Simon
Zoom Zoom Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 I built one in the same color scheme back around 1981 or 82 when that kit was new! It was the first body I sprayed with an airbrush that I got for Christmas in 1981; I still have the airbrush but not the model. For it's day it was a pretty nice kit, though Fujimi and Tamiya did much better. Yours looks pretty authentic, nice work on the weathering.
