Lucky man to have had one... Guy at my work has a new ish one the last gen v10. Ho Lee crap. Bmw's do not normally sound amazing being straight 6's for the best part. This thing sounds awesome lol


Also do you have pics

I'm going to make a big push to finish the 360 in the next week or so while prepping the BMW Sprues for primer. I'm going to make a real effort to build this before Christmas but I do have a baby coming haha

No pics Dougie, this was 20 years ago & if I took any they've long been lost


It's not as much by today's standards, but neatly 300 bhp going through the rear wheels made for a lively drive in the wet!

Nice one man, I have 250 bhp through 4 wheels and I know the car really should have had 300. That must have been a hoot to drive. Pity about the pics

Not a car man myself but will watch this one Dougie. I should get some good car building tips

Hi Dougie


I don't think I've ever seen a 1/16 car build before. How big is the body? I think it should be pretty impressive when complete.


Looking forward to the progress.


Cheers

There are a good few 1/16 kits from a few years back, fujimi did some a while back but I think nowadays they are not really made.


This batmobile is about 290*125*100mm l*w*h


I have this, a fujimi Ferrari 288 GTO and a fujimi f40.


I need an f40 in 1/12 haha but no I'm not that well off, they seem to cost the earth.


Cheers mate

A finish is a finish Dougie...it doesn't matter when and besides...we are model makers...we never 100% finish a kit!

I love the look of these old BMW's. Whilst not in the same league, I did have an RS2000 X pack, which had similar huge square arches over the wheels. That was quite a different sight on the roads.

Mate do you have pics, that's awesome. Speaking of rs2000's seen the episode of wheeler dealers where they do up an old escort conversion for rallying. Was a good watch.

There's a red CSI near me, sometimes I vary my route to the station just to look at it!


My teenage dream was a RS3000 Capri X pack - totally impractical, but what a looker!

Don't blame you, stunning motors. I seen an old quattro in red in Bergen and had to stop to take a couple of pics. Some cars are just stunning. Love the old integrales as well. Shoe box on wheels.


What about this bad boy, a guy saw the new csl homage and thought... That just isn't good enough. Came up with this...

What I wouldn't do to build that even curb side

If you built that, I'd sit outside & just happily gaze at it for hours Dougie!


I had an Integrale 16v in yellow. Excellent car (200 brake & permanent 4WD for the unwary!) ,but bits dropped off it at regular intervals ...must be my driving style!
