This is my Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG by Revell of Germany.  It is painted with Tamiya TS-85 Bright Mica Red with a Model Master Flat Interior Tan seats and instrument panel and build box stock.

Looks really good Mike. If I might? Redo the pics and lose the orange/yellow back drop, it kind of kills the red. While or black to make the red stand out, that colour kind of washes the red out to my eyes.

Actually, the background is a flat white poster board.  I need to play around with the camera settings again.  The red overpowers the camera settings and turns the background into a yellow  or the red turns into pink or orange, especially in sunlight.  I changed the white balance setting and reshot the pictures.  I should have used the flash as the pictures are a bit dark even with two 100 watt bulbs overhead.

I love the model!!!! I have been interested in this car ever since I saw a Silver Factory car when it was new. After seeing your building thread, I pulled the trigger and bought one for myself. I also bought one of the Tamiya 300 Gull Wings as a companion build.

Thanks Ron and Marty!  Ron, I saw a 1:1 SLS AMG at an intersection once and when the light turned green, it made a very un-Mercedes type of exhaust note that left my mouth hanging open.  It was glorious!

Thanks everyone!  I should take new and brighter lit pictures of this Mercedes.  Even now they look a little dark.
