Very nice build. I was patient and scored one of these for about half the retail a new one of these kits sells for. It's not a subeject I usually build, but based on the good things I've heard about the kit and the fact it's such an iconic vehicle, i just had to have one

Thanks. The Tamiya kit is an excellent kit with no fit issues. You will enjoy building it.

Just wrapped another Mercedes yesterday. Turned out not bad but not as nice as my last build the Tamiya 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. The Tamiya kit has better fitting parts.

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 ?

Thanks. This model fits together really good. No fit issues to report.

Just wrapped up this AMT kit of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz SL 300 Gullwing. It was a tough kit to build.

Wow...looks great!

Just buttoned up this second '62 T-bird build. Came out not too bad. Wife bought it for me at the second hand store for a mere $5.99. Kit was complete and still sealed in the plastic bags.

Excellent!  Where did you get the wheels for the Vette?

They came with the kit.

Thanks everyone!

I wrapped up the 1966 Buick Riviera Gran Sport today. Didn't like the oversized tires that came with the kit so I decided to go with the Chevrolet rally wheels and wider tires for a different and a more sporty look. Thinking it looks not too bad.

Great builds! The size-comparison between these two cars surprises me a bit; in my mind the XKE seems like it would be a slightly-overall larger car than the Corvette, but your builds really make that XKE seem petite.

Both cars are the same scale. I believe the Jag is a slightly smaller car compared to the Corvette.

i did not know who sang it i have only heard it play at car shows and sometimes in some stores 

You gave me a great idea. I grew up in the 60's and know all of those old songs very well.
