BMW M1 Procar - Niki Lauda

Post by fastbackfreddie »

Hi guys,
I have been taking the opportunity to finish some unfinished projects.
This one is the ESCI kit. It was quite traumatising at times. :cry:
Scratch built roll cage, MFH harness set, various interior mods.
Scratch built fuel injection, and plug rails.
Coil, various piping and wiring added.
Bare Metal Foil 'Black Chrome' added to window trims, and finished off with a wipe over with Tamiya wax.
Now I just need to squeeze it into the cabinet somehow :lol:
Cheers, Tim

(Next up on the bench to be finished is a Porsche 907 LH... :wink: )

Hi Tim,

Great built !!! I really appreciate it, i am currently working on this old esci kit. Not an easy kit, not a clean kit.

I am going to built a le mans version of the M@r!b*r* car using the renaissance transkit.

I am happy to see pictures of a so beautiful built ! Congratulations Tim !

Thank you all for your positive comments. It had its challenges thats for sure!

Jean-Paul, I am glad you liked and appreciated it! I look forward to seeing yours when it is completed.
I can only imagine the challenges you are facing with the trans kit build!
Thanks again :D
