1/24 BMW 3.5 CSL Gosser

Arii kit plus Studio 27 decal, Renaissance wheels and lots of scratch building. Most of the work went to the rear fender, but I still didn't get it quite right. Perfect replica is not my expertise. The decal required test fitting and trimming in some areas; the quality was top-notch nevertheless. I didn't take any progress pictures, but would be happy to answer questions. Cheers.

Beautifully done! Think this is the first one of these I've ever seen actually built. Love it!

Amazing ! An Arii kit, are you sure ?

Awesome finish and super clean. I have started one of these and have not done the louvres on the rear wings (fenders). You have made the effort and they look fantastic! I have glued the doors shut for a better fit. I assume you did the same as they look great.

Thanks for the comments. I think the Arii kit offers a good body to modify on. At minimal, a set of BBS rims would make the CSL look good. I don't recommend the Renaissance wheels because of poor quality. The recent release from Hobby Design has way better casting.

@Viccario: I did glue the doors shut. The louvres were inserted while I widened the rear fenders. From the internet pictures, the Gosser CSL seems to have significantly wider rear fenders.

Wow great job!

Viccario · 01-25-2018, 02:58 AM

Thanks Helico, yes you are right I hadn't noticed that the rear wings are wider, I also didn't notice the extra detail you have added on the front spoiler and the additional fuel filler/vent on the boot! Well done, I managed to miss all of these details when doing my one!

Very nice paint and work. I wish someone would do a good BMW CSL kit. I like the 1972/73 works cars best but the Luigi cars were also very nice. I had several real 3.0 CS's wich I sold years ago. Luckily the cars I replaced them with are going up in value just as fast.

Very nice, you did a very good job on this one.

Wonderfull model of an iconic car.

Amazing, simply amazing!
When I look inside the ARII box, I´d never thought a result like this was possible.

Amazing work. Looks perfect to me, but I'm no expert.
