Did a really nice job on this. Neat and clean. Beautiful paint job to go with the nice detailing.

Really nice work, Hanjo.  I'm in the process of finishing the same model with a different color scheme right now, but didn't take your extra step of opening the doors.  You executed that very well and it adds a lot to your model. 

Great Job! 

[ChrisR]

Looks great!

That’s gorgeous.  Really classy build.?

[Bainford]

Beautiful Merc. Nicely done.

Great smooth paint finish and the color looks perfect for this model style. The interior looks good, and all of the body trim is really cleanly done. 

[Kah puts]

That’s awesome ??

[Jim B]

Very nice-looking Mercedes.  Well done.

Very nice!  I just bought the Testor's version on eBay, not sure if its the same kit.  How was the build?

Many thanks, Larry. Hope we will see your Benz soon. I´m really curious. But the doors to be opened were original kit, that´s not an extra step.

Thanks a lot, Helmut, already built or still waiting? The closed coupe-version is on my wish list too.

Well, that's interesting.  Here's a link to the kit I'm working on:

The doors don't open.  Is this the kit you used?

Oh no, the kit that is mine is in 1/16 scale.

Well, that explains it!  The larger scale makes your model that much more impressive.  Once again, Great Job!
