I will paint my stripes for sure,same i did on the BMW M1.But for customer it could be better to use the stripe decals.

The new EVO tires arrived today.
Looking much better than before.





before....



after.Thats how a race tire should look like.





At the back i have to sand it a bit.



The final roll cage version is printed.Looking good and should fit fine.

There is also a manual for all the little mistakes in the kit and how to fix them.Its still under construction.
On the pics here you can see the older version of wheels.In the kit are the new,bigger ones included.

Note: There are no decals or a roll cage included.Could be bought from shapeways and from a german decal printer.

Important for you.I can sent this kit right now.But the last day before i am on holiday vacation will be Thursday.
Dont wait too long.

The new designed wheels looking much better, more to scale.
Lovely work Christian!

Thanks a lot guys!
Finaly some new pics with the corrected tires and some white primer on.













In white it looks quiet good.I hope the primer is thick enough to use it after smooth sanding for the base color with any new layers.
Should work,i hope.

In the meantime i offer this Evo kit for 140€ in the forums i am on or for 150€ at ebay.
Just leave me a message if you are interested in a kit.

Yet another stunning example of your craftsmanship. I love it - and the E30 as well. Back in the days
my uncle used to have a black E30 M3 "rocketship". The only thing I remember is that I had like NO
legroom sitting behind him - just about enough to put your legs there, no more.

Oh and what's also funny is that for some reason the car looks small in those pics, like.. not 1/12
but 1/18 or something, even with the cutting mat underneath. However, I know the dimensions it
must have and that the mat is a A3 sized, but still.

No plan to open the areas between the spokes of the rims Christian? Would be great to see them "open", maybe with a break disc in the back

I think I won't open the wheels.
You always come to an point where you have to say stop with the details.
It was a long way to come to this point, with three versions of wheels and stuff. Now it's time to move on the building to get a result.
It's possible to open the wheels from the back. You need a lathe or a mill.
For the casting it was easier to close it and get a better result without major flaws.

There are lots of M3 fanatics out there who finds lots of mistakes. Nearly every year the shape of the wings and the roll cage was changed.
Enough room for scratchbuilding,I think.
