Bmw e9

Despite of many started threads I've decided to start another one, because I'm building this model time to time. It's an another long time WIP. Anyway, it will be interesting to some of you to follow up this thread.
I want to get the road version of the BMW E9. I think this is one of the most beautiful BMW's ever.


As a donor this Arii kit will be used.


In particular the body.


It has a wrong shape and size - it's a bit bigger regarding a length and a width.












At the first sight the lenght of the rear end is wrong. And also an inclination of the C-pillar.


The roof is narrower and the hood is wider in the front end. Also the side panels have wrong inclination to a vertical plane. On the next photos I show you the changes of the body I've made.


























Left - before, right - after.

Re: Bmw e9

Being a BMW fan and owner i'm thrilled to see more Beemers here. Like many of your existing threads I'll be following this one closely.

PS I hope you don't put the Aston aside tho!

To Honny: Aston is on the table everyday. I'm working with its body and hood now. I've met some troubles, that didn't allow me to go forward.

I hope this.

Update. The front and the rear fenders are mostly done. The front panel was installed back to the place. We can see now the rough body appearance.

Re: Bmw e9

I didn't think about it. I will study a standard range of E9 colours before my choosing.

I saw this colour last time. Called "cylon". I think it match perfect to the car.

Re: Bmw e9

to mwhh: Nice colour.
Some progress.
Have detected an incorrect shape of nostrils. Will be corrected in future.


The correction of the rear window and the C-pillar shape.


The lowering of the rear end of the roof.


The side window line was drawn.
