Instructions for Revell Alpina B6 needed

[jano11]

Hi everyone, I bought an already built Revell Alpina B6 BMW and I'm rebuilding it.
I stripped the paint and disassembled it and only than I realized that I forgot to take pictures of the way it has to be assembled.

I would appreciate if anyone could help me out by sharing the assembly instructions for this kit.

Thanks

As far as I know, the Revell Enthusiast B6 is the same as the Fujimi B6...I have the instructions for the Fujimi M6 (same car, different engine and trans) if you want them.

M6 is NOT B6 Alpina.

Right. But if the Revell B6 is the same molding as the Fujimi B6, then the Revell B6 shares suspension/interior/basic body construction with the Fujimi M6. Of course the spoilers/wheels/seats/steering wheel/etc. will differ in detail, and the engine is an m88/s38 vs. the m30 with a turbo. If the poor guy doesn't know how to reconstruct, say, his suspension, the directions I could supply could be of some help.

Hi Nick, I'm interested about your offer. The suspension is the part of the car that I could get wrong without the instructions.

Thanks for your help.

B6 Alpina is based on E36 3-series
M6 is based on E24 6-series
I don't see how these two cars are even remotely similar.

As Alex said. The B6 is a 3 Series Alpina. Fujimi didn't do that model series 3 Series.

don't ask me why i confused the B6 and the B7 models. You're quite right, I see. Sorry about that

Here's the B6 kit in the middle left of the photo.



The kit is still sealed, but I have a stock 3 series Revell kit opened. I can scan that instruction sheet but don't have time to do that today.

BTW, did you know that the Revell 3 series chassis with engine can be adapted to the Dragon/Revell M3 coupe?

Thanks a lot. I'll wait patiently until you can do it. For now I'm working on the body.

Is the Dragon/Revell M3 the one with no engine detail?
When I bought the B6 (on the flea market) I also bought another BMW. It's definitely an M3 but there is no Revell marking on it, plus the doors and engine cover are molded closed. The problem is that there is one missing wheel on it.

Edit: After comparing with the M3 on your picture, I definitely have the M3 too, but it is still missing one wheel!

Thanks for clearing that point.

Correct, I believe Revell did rebox the Dragon M3 along with a couple of others. Besides chassis tweaks, the engine needs work as well including getting the BMW M Power on the valve cover.

Here's a couple of pics of the M3 engine bay:

OK, I scanned the instructions for the STOCK BMW 323i from Revell. Except for the Alpina parts and decal sheet, the model is the same. The file is a almost 5 megabyte PDF. So PM your email address to me and I'll send it along.
