Rallycross BMW 1 serie,Pedro bonnet,scale 1/18 Welly rebuild.

This is my new project, the rallycross bmw 1 series of Pedro Bonnet. The scale is 1/18.
There is a lot of work on this car, it has to be completely rebuilt.
I started making the front bumper.
Now I'm going to expand the fenders.
More pictures in a few days.

Re: Rallycross BMW 1 serie,Pedro bonnet,scale 1/18 Welly rebuild.

Hi Racer1!

You've made a great start! Looking forward to seeing more.

Do you have any tips to share when it comes to stripping the (often very thick) paint from diecasts. I've tried some paintstripping gel bought at a car-parts store. But it did'nt do much to remove the paint. Is motortool and wirebrush the only way?

Best regards!

Emil
