Hi there everyone. I was introducing myself some time before but I didn't have any completed model so I wasn't writing any posts. So here it is now, my completed model. It's Tamiya 1:24 kit. I made engine wires (but they are too big :rolleyes: ) and BMW logos. I have some problems with this kit, but it's only my fault and I haven't got much expierence. The kit is ok, I liked it very much.
The paint isn't perfect and I have some problems with those big decals. I had to do some corections using the paint.
And last one: I lost tail lamps, so there are white places at back of the car. :banghead:
Ok, stop boring, here are the pics. I hope you see them.

And sorry all for my bad English.

BMWs are always welcome! It's not surprising you had hard work with the decals, the result looks good, indeed!

Looks good, I don't see any decal problems. Just a tip about painting those solid backed BBS wheels. Paint the whole spoke area black(down in every crack and crevice)let dry thoroughly then brush the gold on by blotting most of the paint out of brush and dragging across the top of the spokes. The black down in the cracks really ads depth to the look of the wheel.

Thanks all for comments. You don't see much mistakes because I made good pics to hide them ;) .
Thanks for advice 935k3. Next time I'll try this method, because just after I painted the rims they looked better than now. The paint "fade" a little bit.
I hope I'll show you in future my next model. Greetings.
