Re: Converting the BMW M1 Protour into a Ferrari Daytona 365 GTB/4 LeMans

This is the car I am planning on building.





Ever since I saw the decal set on Renaissance's web site a long time ago, I had wanted to try my hand at it. It was an amazing coincidence that CeeElle and I both posted in the classified section at the same time and we even had the same thought that maybe we could trade!


In addition to the Renaissance decal kit I have also loaded up on their p/e set and the Scaleproductions transkit. There is some duplication (and differences) between the 2 sets but between them I can chose the parts i like best.










First impressions of the Revell kit are so-so. Looks like I will have quite a lot of cleaning and puttying to do first – something I don't have much experience with.


My biggest problems?
a) No reference materials!!!! I have found 2(!!) pictures of this car on the web.
b) Paint. What color was used for the light blue?
If anyone can help with these questions I will be really grateful.


I would also like to thank Godfather23 for being very helpful in aswering questions about his great entry in the MS competition.


You're up CeeElle
