Fujimi E21 BMW Alpina

drawzer · 03-10-2007, 06:37 PM

Hi everyone! This is the first time i post a WIP in this forum!

I am building a stunning E21 BMW Alpina from fujimi. The model is a bit old, so, a lot of pacience is required in the work.

But this is a classic, and what a classic! So, is my job to do a clean and good build. Stay tuned!

Sweet, it's about time somebody else built this kit! I had it in the 80s and need to build it again. Any plans for color or anything?

Go with the Alpina airdam over the Hartge one, by the way

My last 1:1 e21 was black, so you know I'm a big fan of the color scheme

. The car definitely needs chrome bumper trim though. How about an interior color?

Yes, the trim is going to be painted in chrome, about the interior i am thinking ia an semi gloss black.

Nice project
if I were you I would keep the rims in white, like the body.

I've bought a 6 euros clear coat, this was a great buy because the coat have got a great shine on the portuguese sun! as you can see in the picture. By the way, the wheels are almost done! Stay tuned!

Old school Bimmer rocks

What happend to the wheel arch, it seems deformed?

drawzer · 03-11-2007, 02:00 PM

No, nothing is deformed... Maybe a shadow or someting?

bhop73 · 03-11-2007, 03:18 PM

I've never seen a shadow like that.. it seriously looks like the whole front end is deformed. You honestly don't see it in the pic? I mean, if you say it's not deformed, then it's probably just a bad photo.

Sorry! This was a car i used to test the clear coat! Is not the model i am building! Sorry

don't scare us like that....

zak78 · 03-11-2007, 11:05 PM

Wow, nice job on that wheel lettering so far.

bhop73 · 03-12-2007, 01:56 PM

Oh.. heh, heh.. that makes sense then. I was thinking it looked more like a 180sx or something anyway.
