Bainford Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Beautiful Merc, Randy. Such a fantastic car, and your build really does it justice. The hubcaps look tricky to detail, but yours look great. I have a couple of these kits in the stash and hope to get to them sooner rather than later. Seeing your build gets me chomping at the bit. That's a gorgeous model. Very well done.

espo Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Beautiful looking finishes throughout. The doors look perfectly aligned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959scudetto Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 excellent execution of a wonderful kit - certainly one of tamiya's best ever. The biggest challenge seems to be painting the hubcaps for me (between the chrome star and rings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Like others have said, a super job on an iconic car from a super nice kit. I have this kit and after seeing yours, I hope it will come out ok. You raised the bar really high. If I may ask. How does it fit together ? any issues ?

papajohn97 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Fabulous job on this one Randy. I have to echo the compliments on the painted wheel covers, a tough area to get right. Also noticed that you painted the weather stripping on the door openings which really makes these open gullwing doors visually pop. All around sweet build!
