crispy Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I saw this car at last years New York Auto show via pictures and knew this is what I wanted to replicate. Scalefinishes.com paints are in Gulf colors with just a touch of orange on the calipers and front grille. It's close, but the wheels aren't right. The wheels were stripped and sprayed with alclad chrome. Interior is basic black. Engine is pretty well covered witht he engine cover. I did add CF to the engine bay where required. This is a great kit that almost falls together. Many parts fit in place without the need of glue. Tolerances on the doors need to be checked all the time due to how tight they fit. Lot of problems reported with doors being a bit tweaked, but some finger pressure on them seems to help. Here are a few pictures of my version with more at hte link if you want to look. Mercedes SLS AMG Chris
MyBradKeselowski Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Good job, well executed. Interesting color
Chillyb1 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 This thing is just gorgeous in these colors.
Erik Smith Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Very nice. I like that color, especially with the red accents. Great, clean build.
peter31a Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Chis, that's a really great build! Love the colour choices on it. Sweet!
jaymcminn Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 There was an SLS in Gulf blue at the annual "Ferraris on 5th" show here in Naples last weekend. It's just the right color for this car.
elan Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Very interesting color scheme! I like the carbon fiber accents under the hood. Did these come in the kit?
crispy Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks guys! Jason, that is the New York Auto show car, I don't remember who purchased it, but I based my build off of that car. elan, I had some scraps of SAS CF left and used it on the engine bay per my searches that is how it should be. Not sure if I had the right "weave" but it does add to it. Chris
Eric C Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Looks good Chris. Looks great in that color.
stevehansen Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Cool. excellent job Chris, like the colors
