78GT Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 My first completed build in a number of years and my first posted here. Revell kit, originally the Red Bull OTM 320i, bought second hand, missing the decals and the chassis part started. What I really wanted was a nice, straight forward build to get me back into the swing of modelling but I properly chose the wrong kit for this!! I guess this kit is typical of Revell's offerings from this era and it fought me every step of the way, not helped by the fact that I wanted to make a few mods along the way too. Luckily the inspiration of the subject kept me going.... After a few different ideas (including a convertible conversion that was clearly beyond my ability) I settled on the idea of a track car, the type of thing you'd see at one of the many club/track days at UK circuits. Parts were pulled from various sources to give the look I wanted. The wheels are from Tamiya's S2000, the spoiler from a Honda Integra, the seats from Revell's Ferrari F50, mirrors from a Porsche 996 and the RHD dash/gear lever/handbrake combo came from the spares box but possibly originated from a Tamiya Merc SL? Paint is Porsche Arctic Silver from Zero Paints (which is a reasonable match for BMW's Titanium Silver and I also had plenty of it to use up) with Halfords clear. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Very nice, I do like that - paint looks really smooth, and the wheels suit it perfectly! Sort of car I'd like as a daily driver! to the forums Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Welcome to BM! Great result and I'm amazed that you used several parts from other model because they all look "right". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
