Revell BMW Z8

I fired up the digital camera again last night and dug out my Revell BMW Z8.

It's a straight-from-the-box buildup. The red is from Tamiya's spray can line. great stuff.

Here's another shot:

Great build on a less than stellar kit! Did yours need sink filling and a lot of mold line work like mine?:sun:

Proof positive that with a little TLC, that kit is a knockout. Gotta get mine rolling before the car's an antique!

Ever see a Z8 on the road? They're bigger than expected. And sound like a true muscle car. I want one.

Yeah, the kit has its problems. I didn't have too many mold line problems, but it does have some sink marks. There are a couple of vertical ones in the doors from stiffeners molded inside the body. The problem is they're really subtle -- I didn't catch them, even after the primer coat. They're not too obvious, thankfully.

I'd really like to do another one as the "The World is Not Enough" Bond car.

I have also this kit.but I observed that the windshield is too tall ìn comparison to the real one. Also the "star" of the wheels seems a bit small in the rims.

Yours is fantastic , super clean.Goo job

Thanks for your kind words, everyone.

I built this model for the "Workbench Reviews" section of FineScale Modeler magazine. If anyone's interested, the full text of the review is online at:
