2012 bmw m3 dtm

This is the Revell 1/24 kit, saw it at SMW Telford and couldn't resist it. Going to do an out the box build, but will add carbon fibre decals and seat belts, and some wire mesh, but thats all. It is a great looking kit, loads of detail

Good start!!
This kit will be in my "pendings" soon, so I will follow your work in deep!!

Nice start, as soon as this one makes it here to the states, I am getting it

Wow... That engine looks fantastic!! Digging the weathering on the exhaust!! KUTGW!!

Looking good so far

Although your going box stock, it looks like a great kit to go over the top with

Looks great, I think I need one, too ;-))

Ordered mine yesterday so in 4 weeks i am good. Engine work looks great.

countach79; Yes lots of potential, was tempted, but wanted to do a quick build.
shunter; Won't be disappointed.
Bit more done, got the wheel arches on, still got to paint the outsides of them, wheels done,(tyres were good, no Tamiya seam down the middles), also bit more to the engine, and started the decals on the body.

Great job so far, looking very good :thumbsup:

In fact your progress made me decide I couldn't wait any longer to get my hands on one, I now have one on the way direct from Germany.

Regards, Dan

More progress, been working on the interior, again great detail in the kit, the only additions I have done, are the seat belts,, I had to remove the molded belts on the seat first, one thing that bugs me with the molded belts on kits, is that they always seem to have the crotch harness coming up from the front of the seat, very strange! and the carbon decals the other addition.

Looks great and i really like your seat, how did you get the texture?

Yep, I'm lovin this build
Your box stock is like my detailed builds!
Very nice

I'm in on watching this build
John

little bit more done, been doing the decals, used white decals to back the number panels, as they are a bit thin, and would show the coloured decals under them, also bit more of the interior done

Hi Duncan, thanks a lot for sharing those pictures, as they have been very useful in order to make our CF decal for this kit.

Getting there, beginning to come together

Looking great, nice WIP.

Oh i love a good tease....

Great !!!!

Really good looking car! Like the way Revell made the body.

Lovely kits aren't they Duncan.

How are you lining your panels?

Looks great and i really like your seat, how did you get the texture?
Hi Shayne, sorry missed your question, I used Micro Balloons, brushed on a good coat of matt black, then dusted on the Micro Balloons, blew off any excess, let it dry, then sprayed it over with Matt Black

Hi Ian, I use Matt Black Tamiya Acrylic, then you can reduce the thickness with a damp pointed cotton bud, or a cocktail stick without harming the 2k clear

Just about done, mislaid the decals for the wing mirrors, but otherwise done, was very impressed with the kit, way better than I thought it would be. Will be tempted to do a detailled one sometime, with the after market decals. Last photo is the 1984 DTM BMW, shows how things have changed

wonderful bmw couple ! wish just we can have more nice BMW's on the market.

Thank you for the heads up on the seat. Simply sensational build, the model just looks so good and almost all OOB. Lovely work and i do like the two generations side by side.
