Brabham BT50 BMW

This is the second one of these on the board as far as I know, Zurbert was making the other.

This is the Tamiya Kit of the Brabham BT50 BMW built straight from the box except for the addition of a perfect parts seatbelt set, the crotch straps aren't in yet!, and some carbon decal on the monocoque. The kit builds well apart from the engine/monocoque interface, I would strengthen this up if I build one of these again, basically the model is finished, just a few more decals and the rear wing and she's done. Enjoy the pics, as always comments are appreciated.

I have never seen this car before so I have no idea how it looks like with the body on. Interior, engine, monocoque looks great. :sunglasse

Super job! Can we see some body on pics please?

Looking great Willster. Please make sure you post some more pics when you're finished.

Well, here are some detail shots I got at the BMW Zentrum Museum in South Carolina. Sorry you didn't have these before.

Sorry Kunta, I'm making Piquet's car!

Thanks for the comments, more pics tomorrow, just borrowed a friends camera to get some body on pics.

This is beauty in her best outfit, my favorite F1 car, 4 cylinder monster (BMW M-Power and power is top word here :evillol: ), look at the size of that turbo, I love this car and your model to. Nice.

Great job!! :bigthumb:

Great build. I love BMW's, and it's always nice to see more BMW models on the board.

A long over due body on shot plus a cool (IMO!) rear suspension shot, Here they are...

Cool. :cool: Looks like a fighter jet.

Excellent work !
