935k3 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Been working on this one a little while now. Body is TS-12 Orange. Wheel centers are Alclad Pale Gold. I cutoff the molded plastic hose and detailed the fire extinguisher with my own hose and cone with a clamp. I made the pull ring and my own decal. The roll cage is painted with TS-30 Silver Leaf and Spaztix chrome over top. Edited March 23, 2017 by 935k3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

935k3 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 A few part added to engine. Wiring and more parts needed yet. I need to do something about the floating alternator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zak78 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Dale-- Tamiya seems to be trying to put one over us with that alternator location, which should be much closer to the intake manifold and water pump IIRC. You can fake it with a flat piece of styrene and still make a better-looking flange than BMW themselves did with the early renditions of the m30. Nice job on that wiring loom by the way.

935k3 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Engine bay is done and chassis work started. I had to scratch build the brake master and fluid containers. Also the rear end radiator was scratch built. Edited January 30, 2017 by 935k3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorLarry Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 What did you use for braided line and to simulate the anodized hose ends, if I might ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
935k3 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 I had to tone down the chrome it was too bright for a race car. I airbrushed Testor's Semi-Gloss Lacquer. The kit has no tire decals. I used some spares I got from Tamiya America. I will have to make some Dunlop decals for the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfan Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) This is awesome. I have the Monogram 635 and I need to dig it out. I just found inspiration the other day in Austin traffic.The guy in front of me had one that had been lowered with vintage BBS wires and it looked like he had thrown some German tuner body bits on it. It was in primer like he was getting ready to paint. It looked like a fairly young kid driving. I wanted to get pictures, but I also wanted to not get into any wrecks, so...
