Oh boy, another new build!
This is one of those rare-ish cars (and apparently kits, too!) that I've always found particularly cool. I'm fond of BMW's in general, but I tend to like the older, more exclusive cars that not everybody and their brother owns. When I first saw the thread, I thought, "cool, an 8-series model. Maybe I'll get one." Maybe not.
But I'll be looking forward to seeing your [undoubtedly spectacular] progress. Yes, the fit may be poor, but I like Revell AG kits for their complexity and engine-inclusion. I'm tired of models that are so poorly detailed that they take three years to complete due to all the scratchbuilding. I guess I can thank the local Wal-Marts for providing plenty of
those sort of projects.
Anyway, your progress so far looks good. What brand is the paint you are planning to use? I agree that Revell does seem to have a thing for license plates (for example the Ferrari F430); I just wish they could do the same with American plates too so I could get some for my AMT kits (whose plates...and models in general...are lousy). Muscle cars just don't look right with the surplus Euro plates I have...
Keep up the good work. I'll be watching this one.
