Thanks Dave, I'll take your advice and give them a whirl..
Revell 1/24 BMW M3 DTM 2012 " Bruno Spengler "
- Thread starter Dave Ward
- Start date
Chris,
be aware Revell kits CAN be very variable! That's where the research kicks in - "new" models dating back to the 70's, and reviews that universally rubbish a model! - A case in point is Revells' 1/32 Tiger Moth - the older version ( 04712 ) is the rebox of the 1978 Matchbox model - the newer version ( 03827 ) is a rebox of the 2020 ICM offering - I haven't made either, but guess which I would go for! Why the older model has a higher serial number is a mystery - but could cause confusion!

Seem to have spent a fair amount of time for not a lot!
Still some pieces to add to the cockpit & other parts detail painted ready to fit
Nice detail - instrument panel & multipurpose steering wheel, not that you'll see anything when the body goes on
Decided to have a bit of relief from the little bits & start putting on the larger decals
Only about another 50 to go!

The seemingly never ending decal application continues, but I'm on the last lap & the chequered flag is waiting
Some decals I've left off - there are two decals on each brake caliper, too small...................
I've really enjoyed this build, the next pictures will appear in the completed section.
Dave
ps I might not enjoy the next build so much - the Italeri 1/24 Lancia LC2 - it looks a little simplistic, if not crude & the application of the decals looks fraught with problems

I'm enjoying this so much, that I thought I might like the other Revell boxing - The BMW M3 driven by Martin Tomczyk in the 2012 DTM series - this is the same model, but with an overall white finish & different decals.
I didn't think there would be any new models in the UK, thee were a few hits - but all "out of stock". Then the pre-owned retailers - nothing there. I turned to Amazon - no. Ebay not a sausage - I then tried a few Far Eastern shops - nada!
I've finally got the message that this is no longer available! and neither is the Bruno Spengler model.
That's a real pity, it's a fabulous model. It does mean that any that do appear, are going to fetch collectors' prices - I'll still lurk on ebay, I might find another started/no box example!

......and if you're buying a used BMW, don't bother to check the indicators...................they've never been used!!I didn't know BMW had a bank, but I have heard that some people describe BMW drivers as a wunch of bankers.
