Hello! I started to work with this interesting concept car of the seventies.

As a celebration for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, the E25 BMW turbo prototype was built. For this celebratory occasion, Paul Bracq, one of the world leading automotive designer/artist most known for the Mercedes-Benz 600, came up with a crafted, innovative design for a new BMW automobile, the BMW Turbo. There were only two of these BMW Turbos ever built. To this day, it is one of the rarest BMW’s, if not the rarest BMW out there.
The kit I used is rare Nakamura Sunqyo 1/24 MOTORIZED KIT BMW TURBO 2000

Then I joined the top with the bottom.

And started to do modifications to improve body appearance.

The next is the bottom correction.

So, all proportions are good now. The next will be correction of the front hood, windscreen and wheel arches.

If you can make this in resin for sale, you will be a god to many of us. Please do!

I'd seen the kit as well, and didn't buy it because I'd seen how it looked assembled.
