Fujimi BMW 325i Group A
This is Fujimi's BMW 325i Group A kit, #TC-96. It is an old motorised kit so has low detail, especially in the chassis. The livery is after a car that ran in European touring car series in the 1980s, though I could not find too much online about it. Reference photos I could find suggested the livery changed in details quite frequently. I think this livery is supposed to represent a Spa (24 Hour?) race.
Paint is Tamiya TS-26 Pure White and the kit is essentially straight out of the box. There is only a half roll cage but someone with more patience than me could readily create a more realistic full-cage. The decals were terrible, mostly I think due to their age. They required soaking for a good ten minutes in quite hot water, a lot of decal solution and a few encouraging words. The 'BMW M Technic' decals had to be trimmed and I used a reference photo for placement.
I completed the Fujimi M325i road car at the same time, though I think the 325i Group A is a better overall look. They look okay as a pair on the shelf.
