jaymcminn Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 After building my dream 300SL Gullwing, I decided to follow it up with my idea of the perfect modern Gullwing- the SLS AMG. Paint is Tamiya Mica Blue, which is pretty close to AMG Designo Mystic Blue. It's a nice shade that really pops under bright sunlight. Interior color will be light brown over black. I'm using the Hobby Design detail set for this model as well. Wheels and tires will be the stock units... not perfect, but they actually fill the wheel wells pretty well. The body after block sanding and primer... The main pieces after paint, but before polishing... ...and the body after polishing in indirect and direct sunlight. Tomorrow is Airbrushing Day... more pics soon!

Looking forward to seeing this completed. Thanks Guy! I got to drive the roadster version a few months ago. It's an awesome experience. Here are some more bits and pieces... The kit intake plenum with Hobby Design P/E pieces attached. I still need to add some bolt detail... Dashboard and interior door panels. The door panels are all one piece... spray body color, mask, spray brown, mask, spray black. Tedious, but they turned out nice. Interior silver accents are Tamiya Chrome Silver, which is pretty close to the matte/satin aluminum finish of the 1:1. The wheels had the recesses painted in Metallic Grey, and the whole wheel was coated in clear satin to tone the chrome down. The effect is like a machined-face wheel. Thanks for the comments everybody! More pics soon!
