DRM Group 5 BMW 2002 1.4 Turbo SLOT CAR

Hello People,

Here is a BMW wich ran in 1977 in the DRM (Deutsche Rennwagen Meisterschaft) (that's before DTM) driven by Harald Ertl.
I made it in the Rodenstock livery.

It's actually a Lexan body from White Point (Germany) with a Plafit Chassis a Slot-It motor, ScaleAuto wheels and DiSo BBS Inserts.

I put some PE-parts on (find them) and did some weathering.

As there was no decal sheet available I used the Studio27 sheet for the Toyota Celica turbo and used a lot of variaty of other decals with sponsers etc.
The startnumbers were painted by hand.















I hope you all like it!

That's awesome that it's a lexan bodied car. Kind of goes against the commonly held belief that detail and realism aren't possible with lexan. The car probably handles a dream too, right?

To be honest I don't know, because it only drove once on my home track.
I am building these cars more to put them in my showcase, and that they can drive you know.

Hi Rebecca,

I guess something about € 120,- (that's somewhat $165).
