Mercedes-Benz SL 72 AMG Koenig Specials (Fujimi, 1/24)

[Tommy124]

Hi there,

another one done for my Koenig Specials collection.

The color scheme for this car is not from my own fantasy, but inspired by a real car that is presented in the YouTube clip below.

I mixed the mintgreen interior color, aswell as the green color for the wooden inlays, using Tamiya acrylics. The door carts are lacking any kind of detail so I did a little bit of scratchbuilding for some more detail. Other than that, the kit is built OOB.

Well done! That is a striking contrast of colors with the interior and body, I can see why you chose it as inspiration!

Thomas it is stunning!  I have a soft spot for Koenigs since a Koenig 928 S4 buzzed past my family’s rented van at about 160 mph on an Autobahn near Munich in summer of ‘86. I’ll never forget that.  Anyhow your photography is excellent as well.  -Mark
