wow, nice work there! can't wait to see more of it! What colour will it be? EDIT: oops didnt realise that it was going yellow. i are so dumb :loser:

can i just ask how you spray the bottom of the sideskirts and bumpers? i have big difficulties angling my spraycan to spray the bottom. do you lift up the model and then spray it or what do you do?

thats nice kunta you do some nice f&f graphics on it . you know, the one on the yellow skyline in the first movie

Looks great! How did you remove the glass? My kit the glass is glued in pretty tight, haven't had the guts to try to remove it.

Mine will be painted white w/BMW corner flag graphics, to depict the very last M Coupe built. It's on display at the BMW Zentrum museum.

I'm using airbrush, make narrow the nozzle and down air pressure when paint small duct or complicated shape like this models's front bumper.
Thanks. :wink:

That looks really good. I love BMW's, so I'll be watching this thread.

Another Kunta build....

Waiting for more, as always.

Cheers!

I used drawing knife and then by force! :cwm27: it's worked...
I want to see "white w/BMW corner flag graphics". do you have any pics?

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Perhaps use the freezer first. The glue is right up to the edge of the glass at the top of the windshield, and that area of the body needs some smoothing, in the area of the trim strip.

Here is the final M Coupe as displayed at the BMW Zentrum museum near Spartanburg, SC. It's a cool museum and they have a factory tour to see the Z4 and the X5 assembly. On either side of the white M Coupe are the final Z3 and the final M Roadster built. Notice that the three cars are the colors of the US flag, red, white, and blue.

YES. I remember your model. after I saw your finished model, I've searched for the kit and got this one. THANKS! :wink:

kunta: I think you should that white with flag graphics, or paint it Imola red, that is, if you don't have an idea for paint yet.

good lord kunta you always manage to pimp stuff out lol :biggrin:

This is going to be cool :smokin: This is one of those cars that treads the fine line between having dramatic styling and being ugly. I'll be looking forward to seeing this finished!

Drumcat: you seriously need to reduce the filesize of your signature image..it's 127K! :eek7: I don't know how you can make such a small image that big. You can make it a jpg with the same quality for about 12k

I always look forward to your builds!!!
Just wondering - how do you get yellow primer?

Assembled interior.
painted in yellow/black and mixed navy blue on dash.
thanks to ZoomZoomMX-5. your pics were very helpful! :wink:

That interior is gorgeous!! :sunglasse

That interior looks real. It's so nice. Can't wait to see it done.

Looks really nice !
I wish I could find this kit myself.
I used to have an Z3 Coupe 2,8 in 1:1 scale...

the interior is one of a kind! super nice!

that interior is dope

very nice seats yellow and black looks soo good!!

Love the interior!

I love that car. The coupe, to me, is more attractive than the roadster. I've never seen that kit before, prepainted Revell, you say?

Thank you! :smile:

Just wondering - how do you get yellow primer?

I made it by myself. put a little yellow into Mr.hobby 'Mr.base white 1000'. :wink:
