This M Coupe was posted on automodelista.org by Ruben_AE86. The shop, tools, parts and even the Coupe are rather convincing, but in reality they are all scale models. The Coupe is a 1:24 scale model made by Revell that came completely prepainted, I believe requiring only minor assembly. Based upon the photo on the box, the paint is intended to duplicate Estoril Blue, but to my eyes in these photos looks closer to Laguna Seca Blue. Ruben was not happy with the fitment of the pieces, or the ride height, which he corrected – I would say with much success. Based upon the Euro license plate and light, along with the non-chrome trim ringed headlights this is a 98 or 99 M Coupe with an S50 under the hood. Wouldn’t mind getting my hands on one of these models for my own collection. I’ll be keeping my eyes open for one. If you happen to know of one for sale, please let me know!
