Aoshima Mercedes SL 63 AMG

[Greasefinger]

Mercedes R230 generation replaced the previous generation R129 when it was introduced in 2001. The R230 model generation went through some facelifts during it´s lifespan. This Aoshima kit from the year 2009 depicts the last facelift that took place in 2008.

This was my last finished model from the year 2024. Quality of the kit was excellent, it even has real suspension springs. Exterior paint is Mercedes Magnetite Black Metallic. This is one of the few car kits I didn´t gloss coat so the finish is satin black. A funny thing is I forgot to paint the back seat red as I didn´t first realise it´s a seat (kind of) and when I did it was too late 🙂 I also left the wheels and the front grill in their kit aluminium first, then painted them satin black to make this a "black edition".
