A while back I picked a slightly beaten up Atlas E30 M3, the Will Hoy 1991 BTCC championship version, to take the wheels for another model.
I was going to throw the rest away but thought, might as well keep it to make something of it at some point.
It's pretty much finished now with a few minor finishing touches to be added, so wanted to share a few build pictures and a couple of comparison pictures next to the original model.
After this picture, the splitter was removed following realising that it should be black, so could be painted separately. I also did some masking and sprayed the yellow and red stripes below the front bumper as it wouldn't really work to use the supplied decals here. Also polished up the paintwork with some Tamiya compounds to make it look a little better. The Laguna will be worked on later to be a 1995 BTCC Alain Menu car.
Initial decals added.
A few more decals down the side.
