Progress: Revell BMW 507 Cabrio
What in the world is Jay doing making a thread in this forum?!?
Well, I'm posting my first progress thread of 2004!  This will hopefully be my #2 completed project of 2004.  It'll be TS42 Light Gun Metal with a blue + off-white interior. The dashboard is way off; it's for the wrong car altogether. Oh well. It's getting built anyway.  The floorpan is getting another layer of flocking, too. It looks a little thin, and even moreso in this view. Ummm... yeah. So here's a pic:  (it's in a food dehydrator, btw) |

Re: Progress: Revell BMW 507 Cabrio
I know that kit!
I think the colour you chose suits the car perfectly, Jay.

Re: Progress: Revell BMW 507 Cabrio
old German cars rule
 But I am a little partial, so ignore me.Can't wait to see more. Whats with the wrong dashboard? Is it that the dashboard was molded incorrectly by the kit manuf. or that this is a different dashboard from another car?

cool car! A little off topic but this is related to the BMW 507, somewhat. I built an Airfix ford tri motor plane for a former pilot, incidentally he flew the same exact plane as the replicated by the kit, markings and all. To top it all of, he owns a red 1960 507. Can't wait to see the finished car

Here's the best of the crappy pics I took of the kit part (semi-painted):  I have a couple hundred 507 reference pics, and all the dash boards look like this:  (that's the basic interior scheme I'm using, BTW, except blue carpet instead of tan.) During my search for 507 pics, I figured out the only pic I had where the dash looked [remotely] like the kit part was this one:  However, going back to the source for that pic, I found this zoomed-out pic of the same car, which revealed that it clearly is not a 507, though it did happen to be parked next to one, which is how I found the page in the first place:  A few details or knobs are missing or fudged, but it's about a 90% match for the dash in the red car. Turns out the other car is a BMW 503, which, according to bmwworld.com, "was not as elegant [as the 507] and was more expensive." The thing is, I don't know if they ever made a 503 kit. I think they just looked at the wrong car when they made the master... |

Re: Progress: Revell BMW 507 Cabrio
Good to see you on the mission Jay, I have one more thing to observe, if the dashboard is like in 503 (derivate from limo and not a pure beauty like 507) then you could have problem with wrong windshield also and that would be bad.
Just remark, great to see it done, I love BMW cars. Edit:than again check this out http://www.auto-salon-singen.com/cars/BMW_507.htm |
