New project Revell 1/24 BMW M Coupé

This is my new project. I will strip the paint off and repaint it in Sterlinsilver (BMW Orginal). The only good thing about the kit is the car itself.

The body is allready in the "strip jar". I use washerfluid (isopropanol alcohol) for strip this body. It´s painted in acrylic paint and the washer fluid works just fine. Yes you´re right about the rims, I will have to wide the rear pair a bit and swap new tires for them.

I have one of those waiting to be stripped and built, but I haven't decided on a colour scheme yet. Black with a purple flip would look good if I could get it to look right. As for wheels I was thinking stock, or Porsche 996 GT3 and it needs lowering.

Only acrylics, which are water based. Enamels work best with CSC, lacquers work best with DOT3.
