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

I shouldn't complain after seeing what Sean and Phil have had to do recently but this was still a royal PIA to do

I used the Revel decals on the covers instead of the Renaissance p/e parts which has the wrong script: it says “M-Power” instead of “BMW Motorsports”)

The tubing for the plug leads was made out of styrene rod with the end drilled out and wires were made out of 0.3mm enameled wire. Spare p/e sprue was used to add the clamps.

When all the wiring is finished, it well get a heavy oil wash to tone down the decals etc. and I will probably put some dull-cote on the wires for the same reason.

Over and out
