ClayK Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Finally wrapped up my first of the new-ish Tamiya AMG GT3 kits. The fit and ease these go together is amazing. I had a few issues, but most were my own fault. I've got one more in my stash and I will know better what to do on it. I used Gravity Mercedes silver, Omni clear. Then I decaled it with Alps decals I drew and printed myself. Once the decals were dry I covered them with one thin coat of Omni, then polished out any imperfections. Finally I sprayed the whole body and wing with Testors Dull Cote to dull down the finish to match the 1:1 Benz. I also did a little bit of carbon fiber decaling here and there. Overall a fantastic kit! They look so cool all built up. I will definitely build another. More pics here... https://public.fotki.com/ClayK/sports-cars/50-iwc-racing-merce/ Clay
FabbricaP Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Beautiful build! The green accents really complement the body color
Silver Foxx Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 A top class build , you always do real nice work . I am currently building the blue version ( Black Falcon Racing ) , and it is a great kit to build .
AJM Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Clay -- what an impressive build --- looks like the 1:1. Great craftsmanship , would b nice to see some in process pics if possible.
Ich_Will Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 I guess I'm going to have to look for this kit. Well done.
GlueTube Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Very clean workmanship. Well done sir. Regards Brian Kroon
tmathew1us Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Great work, especially on the decals. Do you own an ALPS printer or do you have access to one?
kilrathy10 Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 This thing is pretty amazing...Very well done.....I'm diggin' it.....
Gluebomber Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Really nice, Clay. Fantastic job on the decals and finish.
GoatGuy Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Terrific job Clay. I would love to go see these cars in action. Question - were the kit decals bad or just different from what you needed?
Mike 1017 Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 Amazing. It looks like graphic artist's poster for the racing team . Did I say AMAZING ?
Codi Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 Gorgeous Clay. I swear it looks just like a 1:1 pic of the in the photo booth. Cheers!
