Schnitzer BMW M3 E30 Sport Evo DTM 1992

Hi

Starting with a new Project, a BMW M3 Sport Evo of the 1992 DTM.

I try to build the #15 Roberto Ravaglia car of the Schnitzer Team.













The Basic is a BMW M3 E30 from Tamiya in 1:24...



..and resin parts for the front and rear.



Studio 27 decals and scaleproduction wheels.



Here are the first pics of the front. The body of this model is so bad, so i try to correct all the mistakes.

Cutting off the front bumper, the Hood and closing the gap.

This Fujimi kit is a bit of a pig, so I'm looking forward to your work!

@lovegt40

I'm only using the DTM inlets from the tire set. For the rings, I have ordered 17" resin.

Great theme this year to build the DTM cars from the golden days of racing!
