Jägermeister BMW 320i Group 5, Tamiya 1/24

Post by MarcoSaupe »

It's me again ;)

If you want to get a kit done fast you shuld take one from Tamiya, that will always turn out good, even if the Kit is 34 years old. It's not a perfect kit, the windows had some slight flaws and while the kit has an engine, you cannot show the bonnet open, because other things are missing, notably the firewall... I left the engine out, maybe I'll build it later to stand beside the car.

Painted with TS-12 per airbrush, Zero 1k clear, TMM self adhesive foil on the rear wing, microball seat and, according to the feedback on my 935, I treated the rims with a washing. I know that there should be a silver frame around the windows, but after I spent hours getting the black trim right, the coward in me didn't want to ruin that ;)

Very nice looking 320i. About the trims. Better paint them in black and good, than ruin the body by cutting the bare metal foil. I had this a couple of times and regret the fact that i did it after.

Lovely work Marco, nice work on the paint and great to see an older kit be built to suck a level.

Looks great, and a very clean looking build.

Like the helmet, nice touch and I have done the same thing recently with an F1 build, which will be posted here soon.
