BMW Z8 Revell 1/24

Hi, another Revell kit completed in my collection. This was once again one of those silly used kits from eBay... I keep telling myself I will not do it again... but just cant help myself when it's so cheap. A lot of parts were painted, pretty badly I may add, this has left me no other option and bath in DOT4 was necessary. I've stripped all the chrome as well and painted using Alclad chrome, remaining using Tamiya or Revell acrylics and cleared with Klear for a change. Thought I give it a go, but probably won't do it again. Overall really happy how it turned out taking into account how bad was to start with. There is one part that I couldn't save so dashboard looks quite bad.
Enjoy and post comments :)

You did a nice job! I like that shade of blue.

turned out great

Looks very nice indeed! Too bad the dashboard was irreparable. I have built the same kit and I have one more in my stash. Next time I'm going to lower the ride height at the front and move the rear axle a bit forward. I wonder why Revell couldn't get these things right...

Looks nice. the colour fits to the car.

I agree with you, why buying started kits? You don´t know how they look, how they are painted, ... you eventually have more work to get rid of paint and glue ... I also prefer to wait and buy a cheap new kit

Nice shade of blue, looks almost like the Leguna Seca blue on the E46 M3's

Beautiful Build!

Nice job, looks great considering. I have a Subaru I bought in 'mint' condition. Total glue bomb. Giving it to my daughter I think.

That Alpina look great....
