Looks like it comes with a rear screen, so is there an option for a "top up" version?

Even if it is your first car I'm sure you have all the skills needed to make a great job of it.

 

[PaulTRose]

Its just a box of styrene like every other kit......just think of it as a plane without wings........just cos its something different dont let it intimidate you

This is quite a basic car kit so just enjoy it

A change of pace and topic for you Chris. I have only built one model car, and I enjoyed it very much. I am sure you will enjoy your BMW build

 

[Tworrs]

Don't worry Chris, I have built a couple of cars and quite enjoyed the process, tbh the hardest part for me was getting a nice paint finish.

AN HI Garry yes i was worryied about the paint finish due to sprayin in this cold wheather even in my model room so stuck the C/H on for 3 hrs to warm the room up an i think i got a reasonable finish on the paint finish so see how it looks when finished

Chris it may be something you have never built before but at the end of the day it is a kit, and given your skill as a kit builder you should have no problems. Good luck and have fun.
