crispy Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Nice looking Merc! Can you tell us a little more about the build? Box stock? Custom wheels? Paint? I just finished a 500SEC Lorinser myself. Love those Benz's. Chris
Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 Thanks for the replies! Crispy, this is pretty much box stock. I used the "19 inch" Aoshima Luxy type 1 rims, filled in the seat backs, tilted the headrests and added bmf. I went for the Euro clear turn signal look. Not too happy with the paint. It's Duplicolor's Universal black. I painted it months ago and put it aside. When I finally got around to finishing it I forgot I only laid down two thin coats. I started polishing and lifted paint in some spots. Oh well. Now I'm looking for the 300ce without the SL grill and the 300e sedan. Thanks again.
jbwelda Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 i didnt know people in the USA called mercedes "merc"s...isnt there some other car also called that? i thought that terminology was only used in the uk. i thought people here called them "benz"s. personally i call them "benzio"s. anyway nice build and youre right you dont see them that often.

Thats the first time I'ver ever heard them called "Mercs" as well, the only other term I know that is similiar to "Merc's" is "Merc" as in either the Mercury auto maker or the outboard motor, but you learn something new every day!
