om617 Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Thought i should try give this old Tamiya Benz new life. Not sure what style it is but there is some 80s tuner Lorinser bodykit,VIP wheels,i think they are Work,but the package does not say. The tires are 295-35-18 at the rear and 235-40-18 at the front. The paint have lots of pink pearl on it but i did not manage to capture it. The engine is a 6liter 48valve 408hp from w140 S-class AMG,also Tamiya. I painted it like the engine in the Brabus 7,3. This one have 582hp & 772nm. The interior is called bull blood red,but i`m sure it`s got a better name,i forgot to take a picture before assembly. The plenum and covers on each side of the engine is treated with Kosutte-Ginsan (This stuff is amazing). I mounted some fat exhaustips,put on some VIP stickers on front fenders and rear hatch,polished the body with meguiars and put on some strips of BMF. Anyway i hope you like it and here are some pictures. Comments and critice are welcome. Edited May 7, 2014 by om617 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

om617 Posted May 5, 2014 Thank you James and Jason. Jeremy: The engine is not original so the oilpan,exhaust and motor mounts where the only thing needing attetion. As for self criticism i should used more orange on the indicators,also paid more attention to mount them. The plates look dirty on the pics,also maby not my fault,but the rear skirt should gone deeper for a more clean look. If you look at the sideskirts it`s not high on the rear as the rear skirt makes it look. Anyway,onto next victim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
