BMW 635 csi Jagermeister-update 3/22 decals and window trim

[935k3]

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.

Nice work! That's a cool kit.

Looks great! Always in for an e24

A few part added to engine. Wiring and more parts needed yet. I need to do something about the floating alternator.

 

[Ron Hamilton]

That is some beautiful work.

[zak78]

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.

Everything is looking PERFECT!!!!!!!!  -love the look of the Spaz Stix over the silber leaf too!

Engine mostly done. I did move the alternator in closer. Some touch up  needed.

That looks fantastic! Always dug those jager paint schemes.

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.

Beautiful!

I`m suprised by the "stock" appearnce of the intake manfoil and air filter housing.

[Scalper]

Nice clean work so far.  Looking really nice.

Thanks. Group A racing did not allow much modifications to the street version.

Looks like it's coming together, with surgical precision!

I love your fine detailing. That fire extinguisher looks very real, as do the excellent wheels/tyres.

I'll be watching your progress.

[Davewilly]

Some pretty nice detailing happening!  Looks great!

[935k3]

Chassis pretty much done now. I will starting on the interior next.

LOOKING GOOD!   everything really "pops" against the white chassis

[DoctorLarry]

What did you use for braided line and to simulate the anodized hose ends, if I might ask?

[935k3]

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.

 

[Terminator-Fox]

Wow this is looking killer Dale.

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...
