Mercedes "Blue Wonder" Transporter: 1/28/14 "Outside" photos posted

Absolutely MAGNIFICENT!!! Those wire wheels will look great once you remove the chrome and paint them metalic silver, these where not chromed on the real cars..and are one of the few exceptions which I am glad of that, the 300-SLR look much more atractive thst way...in my personal opinion and taste. Once more SUPEB master class on scale modeling is shown in your Mercedes race team project, can't wait to see it finish.

Hello…….thank you all very much for the kind comments…….I really do apprecieate them :) …….the body has been primmered and the body work finished…….it is painted PPG Deltron DBC Silver……I also applied the decals but,they had a yellow/brownish border and I knew if I applied them like that they would look nasty……..so I cut each number seperate and cut the yellow/brownish border off each number……..I think the results look pretty good …….I will give it a coat of clear today…….thanks for looking.
