Bmw M3 Schnitzer

hi all

this is the first time I post my wip pic's in here and I want to show you my long time project, a bmw m3 schnitzer.
I had this idea since I bought a tamiya RC m3 scnitzer kit that was beautifull and I thinking that I should have one for my 1:24 collection, and it would fit great with the ford sierra.

so I started with this kit

anyone who had this kit know that this is a not a good kit (a bad one actually) but it the only one I found for this model.
a lot of work had to be done like filling the roof window and lowering the front.
and here is what I have this far

well not the best finishing work you have seen I know but it's coming out nice and I think after fitting the decals and a little more work it will be a cool model.

It seems you are in HK. (I am in HK) How is the decal of Schnitzer since you kit is JTCC version.

Hi, you're lucky man. this kit is very hard to find! :eek:. I agree it's a bad kit. height is too short, the twin kidney grille doesn't look good. But anyway something is better than nothing :wink:. By the way, MSM Creation (http://www.msmcreation.com) is going to make some decals for E30 M3, they're 89-91 Macau Guia Race. check out their future release page:smokin:

p.s. I'm from HK too :lol:

Nice find, keep up the good work.

Great job so far.

That is fantastic news that MSM is releasing decals. I just hope they will fit the Renaissance model I have? Anybody know what kit the made them for?

Looks good so far.

I have one in the loft that I made years ago and did think about restoring it but decided not to due to the incorrect body shape, interior etc. If doing one again I think I would do the same as Technoman and go for the Rennaisance version (although it is expensive!)

thanks everyone

winstonm3bmw I'm not in HK, why did you think I am?

the decals I'm going to use are from pattos place decals

www.pattosplace.com (http://www.pattosplace.com)

they are pretty good but I think I will be have to print some decals myself.

the final goal is somthing like this

Oh!!!!!!!!!!! Since the price tag with Chinese character and it almost 99% likes where you can find in HK.:grinyes:

Looks pretty good, but maybe you should use Bare Metal Foil for the grille trim, as it looks much better than silver paint.

ok after a long time that I have been busy I found the time to continue the work.
I did some decal work and I think it looks good but now I need to make some more decals by myselfe so I ordered the waterslide paper.
so chake it out.
