Just finished up this Tamiya 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. What a nice kit to build.

WOW!  That is a real show stopper there.

Very clean build. Beautiful  interior and paint. 

[Zippi]

WOWSER Randy.  That's a Looker for sure.  The silver and red really look nice together.  Nice detail work on the interior.  Great job.

Beautiful job!

VERY NICE!

Beautiful Merc, Randy. Such a fantastic car, and your build really does it justice. The hubcaps look tricky to detail, but yours look great. I have a couple of these kits in the stash and hope to get to them sooner rather than later. Seeing your build gets me chomping at the bit.  That's a gorgeous model. Very well done.

beautiful Randy.  That is kind of a departure for you!

Beautiful looking finishes throughout. The doors look perfectly aligned.

excellent execution of a wonderful kit - certainly one of tamiya's best ever. The biggest challenge seems to be painting the hubcaps for me (between the chrome star and rings)

[Rich Chernosky]

Great kit and executed very well.

Like others have said, a super job on an iconic car from a super nice kit. I have this kit and after seeing yours, I hope it will come out ok. You raised the bar really high.

If I may ask. How does it fit together ? any issues ?

[kjohan]

[chris coller]

Nice and clean

[Jim B]

Great looking Mercedes.  I think it looks nice in silver.

[Ulbo]

Very sharp clean and nice?

Fabulous job on this one Randy. I have to echo the compliments on the painted wheel covers, a tough area to get right. Also noticed that you painted the weather stripping on the door openings which really makes these open gullwing doors visually pop. All around sweet build!

Awesome work !! ??

[RandyB.]

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the great comments. It was a fun build with no fit issues.
