Re: BMW M3 GTR - Campionato Italiano Turismo Endurance 1/24

always always thank u all guys.
Your support is very important while the work goes on

I lowerd the rear wing,cutting the base of about 5 mm, and replacing the rear holes lower of anoter 3 mm.
Now the line with the roof is correct.

The following step was to recreate (even in alu) the thin blades inside the wheel archs.They change from race to race, as well as the 4 little front wings near the main engine and brakes air intake.
I choosed the combination seen this year in Mugello race, also cause I simply love that track and its location in Tuscany (when u can guys..go there, is the real Italy,incredibly nice, and people is mad about cars..)
The small bolts are done with a punch and die set,using 0.15 sheet styrene.
Also door handles are now in position,they look definitely better than original die cast ones.

After the final primer shade, the body is now ready to paint (wanna study something cool with Gunze colors, the ones I prefer instead than one of the many Tamiya Ts-can colors, that always are a challenge when sprayed from can cause pressure mess)...even if from germany my decals will ever arrive

the challenge goes on
