1:24 BMW M3 E30 sponsored by Telefunken - 1988

Decals 1:24 BMW M3 E30 Telefunken 1988

Decalcas decals in 1:24 scale with the advertising scheme of the BMW M3 of the E30 generation from the 1988 season. The set on its own does not make up a model. It transfers onto a finished body the lettering and the color areas of the sponsor Telefunken in the form that the car carried in the stated running.

The real subject

The BMW M3 in the E30 body was created for the sake of homologation for touring cars and became one of the most successful circuit specials of the 1980s. Under the hood works an inline four-cylinder with a head with four valves per cylinder, the body was given fenders of its own, a wider track and a pronounced rear wing. Telefunken was among the German consumer electronics brands that financed entries of touring cars in home and European series at that time, and their logos appeared on the bodies in striking contrasting areas.

How to transfer the decals

• Cut the individual motifs off one at a time and soak them in lukewarm water.
• Move a decal with a soft brush, as fingers would break the edge of the film.
• Blot the excess water away with an absorbent cloth from the center toward the edges.
• Let the drying take place freely, as blowing with air forms bubbles.

Who the set is for

For builders of touring cars who want a particular machine of one season, and for collectors of E30 models looking for an alternative to the markings from the box. It also suits a collection focused on German circuit series of the end of the 1980s.
