OldTrucker Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Build a few years back. This was my second attempt at this kit and this time I got it finished. The doors are glued shut as I could not get the hinges to work proper.
89AKurt Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Well done! I have that kit, was planning on a diorama. Good to see one finished. Good to know about the doors. Bare Metal foil chrome?
christian-w Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 I have the kit in the shelf and know it good. So I have to take attention of the doors. A good hint. You built a nice model out of it! Forces me to lay a hand on mine.
afx Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) The Tamiya kit is nice but IMHO the AMT is still a worthy kit, especially since it includes the Rudge wheels. Nice work. Edited August 23, 2018 by afx
Gramps46 Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 I have always liked this kit and yours looks super.
BeakDoc Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Great looking build. Such a fine looking automobile that MB designed. You certainly did it justice.
cobraman Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Looks good. I always avoided this kit as I heard it was a tough one.

GeeBee Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Superb build, I've got this kit, and was going to sell it on after buying the tamiya version, I've just changed my mind after seeing your build, I'll be building it now.....
Snake45 Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Very VERY nice! I've always wanted to buy and build this kit but have never gotten around to it. Yours is inspiring! Model on!
Dann Tier Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Turned out VERY nice!!….I have a couple of these kits as well, and they ARE very nicely designed kits!
