SL 63 AMG

This is a fantastic kit to build and very well detailed. This is a must have kit if you like Mercedes.

I added some different Aoshima wheels with P 7000 tires, detail painting, Testors clear glosscoat,

and of course I built it my style.

I hope you can see the detail this kit has with my build.

Hope you like it...

Thanks for looking and comments

Looks good, Steve! I want to build a Mercedes now that I have seen the red coupe in the Christmas commercial. Interior looks real nice, too!

The red coupe should be the same as this one, only with the convertible hardtop up. Steve – does the kit have an up top?

Beautiful build. I'm planning to purchase this kit myself. Mercedes is one of a few Imports cars that I do love.

I know I've read about it before, but what did you use/do to make the door seams black?

Thanks Blake, Felix for the comments

Justin, I flow just a little bit of flat black paint (bottle) with a toothpick

in the panel lines...

Nice build. I like the lines of that car and am thinking a hot rod Mercedes.

Who makes that kit?

I'm thinking a big block Chevy in it.

Very nice build, but, those wheels and tires sticking out like kill it for me and they look really out of place on a car like that, IMO. Your model would look a LOT better if you could find a way to tuck them all the way up under the car, or if you used a set of narrower wheels/tires.

That's strictly my opinion and my criticism is meant to be constructive ...

I agree w/ Ken. Very, very few 1:1's have the tires beyond the fender openings (unless you are planning on going in mud or off-road). also notice I said "tires" only, as the whole Hellaflush / Stance / Fitment movement has made people obsess with getting their WHEELS to sit 'flush' with the fender, whether or not the tire does is irrelevant.

Here is a 1:1 example:

I still think this example's rear wheels / tires are out a bit too far, but IMO, looks Pretty darn good.

Regardless, like Ken said, IMO also, the wheels and tires on your build could be 'tucked' a bit more, and not sticking out as much. I think it would greatly improve the look of your Build.

Thanks guys for the comments

The wheels ended up being farther out than they were supposed to be. The glue had set

before I could fix them...

Aoshima makes the kit, it's the Mercedes Benz SL-63 AMG...
