Moin, since i promised Stefan, 1 of my Simca print file testers, a BMW 3.0 E9 series i am starting to work on it. I had to increase the width of the car to 182mm to make it fit to tt-01 touring car chassis.
so do you guys think it is not noticable, that it is out of proportion in 1 direction?

 

Another nice project 

so you think its not that noticable that it is squeezed and made wider than the original?

How much did you widen it? I'm guessing c.10%? I've messed about with proportions more than that without (I think) issue, there's quite a lot of fiddling required with most RC cars anyway, with the chassis being much wider and shorter than 1:1 car proportions.

I think the key things on that design are the angles of the nose & tail, and the heavy waist trim giving an impression of an inward curve underneath it, if you keep (or possibly even exaggerate those slightly) it's going to keep that iconic look. 

 

Thank you for your input.....and i already feared i would have to go for the dtm race version with its extreme wide body kit and the ridicilous big wing in the back.
(but still i think i will make a wide body kit for it too for the people with no taste for classic lines )

Looks good to me.

You could widen the wheelarch slightly to be able to cover the wheels.

I already have a nide tt01 for it

and it already takes shape, must say now that i am modelling it i am getting in love with the flow of lines the body has

 

Ohh man! You're really fast. When I think that I am not able to download a software to see your models.....

LoL. This is 6 hours and its only the basic carge. Dont worry, it gets slower when i start to add details
