Well, I'm sure we can work out a deal.

I'm lucky enough to have 2 of them M3 kits (one bought started + the RB one) and I'm gona try to mod them to E36 GTR and E46 GTR respectively.

The wheel arches would be interesting to get, but I doubt they are common as I didn't even see one on evilBay in recent times. Still wen I'll have enough time I'll attempt the mods myself.

I just don´t want to disappoint you giving the sheet to me and never see this one happening in the end.

Don't worry, I see what you mean.

Looking forward to see the Jagermeister BMW now!

Alright then. Here we go. I cleaned the body and prepared it using grey primer, a session 600, 1000, 1500 grid paper, a layer of AS-20 and a layer of TS-26 as well as another session of 1500 and 2000 grid paper. Then I applied 3 mist coats of acrylic orange layer followed by 2 wet coats.

Before starting to apply the decals I cleaned the body with sanding sticks and furious session of Tamiya polish to clean the rest of the body.

This is what I have so far. Appologies for the pictures (some with flash some without). But because of work I don´t do the modeling at home as I used to. The paint looks brighter in reality:






- without flash -


- with soft flash -


The whole build is now inspired by the BRUN BMW 635 Jägermeister Gr. A as driven in the 500km of Monza in 1984. The decals are from Studio27.

Comments and everything is welcome. I hope you like this change of livery. I was sceptical at the beginning. Right now I really dig the paint. Very orange.

Wow you totally redeemed yourself on this one,if it was me it would have been thrown in the corner to gather dust until I was inspired again!
