oh wow....that looks not good with the fitting of the chrome parts.
i've build this BMW twice and had not that issues. perhaps, the mold is old :-D because i had the first issue i worked with.
good luck! At the end. it is a very nice model 😉

As always I think we all appreciate your step by step build pics and the problems in the kit
You find
Fantastic work on the model but also on the instructions on how you overcome
The challenges in the kits
Sure a cool car but looks to be a challenge to build
Fantastic work

Here, here to all th eprevious comments 🙂 I'm learning lots - especially that one should not be daunted by poor quality parts!!

This is some tideous work. These older kits are quite the pain in the butt sometimes but you are doing an astounding job with these improvements 👍. Following with great interest!

Oh. Bending and gluing on a thin strip of styrene is tricky, next to impossible if the turn/bend is too hard, as the glue will in my experience, always snap the rod.
What might work, is to glue on one end of the rod, then make the bend, and then glue on, only parts of the styrene rod, and making sure you don't use too much liquid glue, or the thin styrene rod snaps.

That's right. I broke it once too. hahaha
I thought it was because my pla-plate was so old (I bought it over 15 years ago) that it was worn out.

It just occurred to me that cyanoacrylate glue is the key glue to use in such cases. Only now today did I think of that. I suspect the superglue won't react with the styrene, and so it won't snap I think.
Sometimes fiddling too much with thin bits of some styrene rod, if you started to bend it, makes the rod snap, same with thin plastic parts, and so I try to be gentle and not overly twist and rold the parts in my fingers.

I'm experiencing huge enjoyment seeing the tiny pieces of perfection that you are hand-crafting 🙂

Wow (again). how did you glue the "metal"-parts like the missoros? that is outstanding detailwork!!! Im just on side 6 from your well documented build. amazing!
btw. the handle on the dashborad left is for the parkingbrake.
the two "paddles" on the steeringwheel are the hornbuttons 😉

Fantastic. I'm interested how the speedo and tach are going to be mounted in those beautiful trim rings.

Great detail work on each and every little part 👍
What kind of glue do you use for the aluminum parts?

Thanks guys.
@bughunter - I used AXIA031, Loctite Easy Brush. Since cianoacrilate super glue is weak to impact, sometimes additional woodworking glue is applied. 🙂
