The M3 (Really)

The other thread got locked before I made it in there with these. I predict... a thread merger!

Dragon kit. Quickie build. Cobra Colors Milenium Jade. SAS brakes (half the kit). Scratched modern style M3 spoiler. Aluminum tubing exhaust tip. I sanded off the DOT lines from the front headlight lenses because they were way to thick and polished them clear with Scratch-X.

The interior is purposely drab, just primer gray and some minimal detail painting because I'm going to add a driver figure later, and I don't want anything to detract from the model within a model (a meta-model).

Here she is:

Re: The M3 (Really)

now, I know my BMW's, and that looks like 1:28 scale sex. (or whatever )

I would have gone with a different exterior color though. But that's just me and my crazy self

That is one nice M3. Great colour!
I can't find that kit here in NZ. I wanted to build one for a friend of mine who owned one.
