Wow. That is just about the best AMT Merc I’ve ever seen. Love the paint, the engine, the interior…
One question. Sorry if it’s a silly one. You say the chrome was replaced with Revell. Is that the Revell Chrome spray paint?
Some cool ideas there. Turning into a coupe is something I have really wanted to do, and I have seen it once in the 1:1 world. The treatment to the rear arches transforms the look. Let’s see some more.
Great Scott! Doc would be impressed! Well done on a great build there. I think this new tool kit looks so much better than the old Aoshima one. I’m considering building one as a stock Delorean.
Please don’t be sorry. Your work is actually inspirational. It’s interesting to hear your reports about how paint film thickness can throw the fit out. I’m tempted to build without the carbon decals.
That is a beautiful job. It looks perfect in white, and your decision to go hubcapless was definitely right. It’s a shame that the Fujimi range of 356 has not been re-released.
Wow. I have no words! The carbon fibre work alone is a masterpiece. Well done on making that kit look so good. Thanks for the detailed write up. I think you have put me off building one of these myself, but I am more than happy to look at pictures of your masterpiece.
Fantastic job there. I really like the colour choice, and those wheels and tyres really add to the look.
What parts were supplied from Fireball? Is it just the wheels and tyres?
I love the GTO! One of the most beautiful cars ever IMO.
Good work on the paint. What brand of primer was that? I used pink primer from Zero and got a terrible reaction once, so used Mr Color and their pink was fine.
I really like this kit. I’ve started a few, but never finished one. The suspension height does indeed need fixing.
The only part of the kit I never really liked was the moulded-in door mirrors. I guess some clever painting would make it look good.
