Hi guys, once again it was the artist Steve Stanford who inspired me to turn one of his sketches into scale reality. I found his drawing of a Mercedes 450 SLC in the depth of the world wide web… …and realised that Italeri offered a kit of this car. I just had to add this one to my collection: The kit included only the driver‘s side mirror, so I robbed the mirrors from a die cast. Jay‘s resin wheels provided the perfect rolling stock: Other than Steve Stanford I didn’t use custom door handles. Just shaved the stock ones along the emblems and lettering for a more smooth and clean look. Apart from the wheels, stance, engine wiring and the light shaving the kit was built box stock. As a little homage to Mr. Stanford the license plates show his signature: That‘s it from my first non-american model car. Hope you like it. comments are welcomed and appreciated! greetings from Cologne, Germany
