BMW M3 DTM E30 #11 Soper 1/24

I finally completed the Beemax BMW M3 DTM E30 1/24 which I started last year. This is probably my favorite race car of all time. I really like BMWs from the 80s and 90s, not so much on the modern ones. I could have used more layers with the clear, where I accidentally burns few small places of decals during sanding and polishing.

Paint:
Tamiya White and Gray - Primers
Tamiya TS-26 Pure White - Body
Tamiya TS-13 Clear - Body
Other Tamiya TS spray paint
Gravity Color - BMW Tri Motorsport Colors - Touchup

Polish and Wax:
Mr Hobby Polishing Cloths 4000, 6000, and 8000 gits
Tamiya Polishing Compound - Fine and Finish
Wax - Griot's Garage Best of Show Wax

Detailed Up Parts:
Seatbelt
Hood and Trunk Quick Release Pins
Antenna
Mesh Grill in Front Bumper

Here are couple of youtube video links that show off the actual race car, hopefully to get you guys excited about the car.
