1/24 BMW touring cars
Upon a recent visit to the BMW factory in Spartanburg, SC I came across these models in their museum. They appear to be plastic and hand made, but I can't tell who makes them. Has anyone seen these before and do you know where I can find them?
Thanks, tc3house

Re: 1/24 BMW touring cars
They are DRAGON co. models, both are readily avialble on e-bay. THe quality is ...somewhat questionable though and th eproportions are generaly off.

Re: 1/24 BMW touring cars
Looks to be a wide range of scales there. Surely some of them are diecasts?

Re: 1/24 BMW touring cars
yeah, sorry, I meant the two larger white racing 3 series models are 1/25 scale Dragon co. models.

Re: 1/24 BMW touring cars
I live near the BMW museum and have been there many times. Their gift shop has a number of BMW diecasts in several scales, made by Herpa, Schuco, and other companies.

Re: 1/24 BMW touring cars
Both of those are Dragon. They are average at best, proportions aren't too bad. The number 9 car comes pre-painted and semi decalled, you can get it on eBay for about $20.00. Quality is ok.
Hasegawa also made some BMW's, JTCC versions I think. They are better than the Dragons.

Re: 1/24 BMW touring cars
I was refering to the 2 "big" white ones, all the others are diecast, I have a picture of the whole model display if you want to see it.
Despite the apparent quality issues, they do look quite nice in the display case. I might have to make myself one, it'll look good next to my JTCC Accord.

Re: 1/24 BMW touring cars
I know these two 1/24 cars as Revell models. They are pre painted and quite easy to assemble.
