BMW Z1 (Revell)

A nice careful start to this project.


In metallic orange. A lot of prep work was needed on this bodywork, 3 primes, 2 silver undercoats, 3 colour coats and three clear coats. I thought I would ask the forum about clear coats before commiting to a new type. Thanks dublin boy.

Nice paint, love the color.

Never like this car but your paint looks good.

Nice colour mate what did you use?

Interesting colour,and glad the clear worked out for you Mr. H

Massively expensive when new and not much faster than a 325i which had the same 170 bhp.

First BMW with the Z axle which stopped a whole generation of 3 Series going sideways into a ditch.

Absosulty dig that colour, interesting design. Never seen it before your post.

A kit we never got here in Midwest U.S. Interesting look to it. I think I saw a foto from a car show of one of those. Thanx.

They still do, but it's the driver lol

Awesome colour, should make a pretty drab looking shape look much better.

Are you doing doors up or down, or is there a choice?

I think the doors can actually work Colin, but I'm not sure.

Nice colour. Are there actually doors for the kit?

Hi all, the doors will move freely up and down. Apparently BMW were given license to do what they liked with this car so they tried new things with it. Also along with a fully detailed engine it has an opening boot/trunk so that ticks all the boxes in what I look for in a kit.

Hi H,

Love the colour...

Tamiya TS-92 Metallic orange over TS-30 Silver leaf and cleared with Hycote clear lacquer.

A little more progress with my Z1 project.

Great colors. The dash detailing is fantastic.

That is some clean work Mr H.

Nice work, great colour choice for that car.

Beautiful work D, very impressive detailing you have there

That's a nice looking engine Mr H.

A touch more progress today.

The detailing is fantastic and those colours are simply beautiful!

Very nice detail on the interior.

Thanks for the positives guys.
That's the underworks finished. Onto the bodywork now.

Looks superb H.
