o-man Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Tamiya SLK. Usual great fit; don't think I had to touch a single thing to make it fit. Painted Krylon yellow exterior. Interior black with Tamiya buff accents. Kit came with photo etched badging. The slk 230 wouldn't stick to car, but others worked out ok. Chassis Interior
Scuderia Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Those lil SLK's did look nice in bright colours, and you did well here. Good subject matter for a project as well.
peekay Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Nice. My favourite Merc of the last few decades.
Matt Bacon Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Very nice indeed -- love the colour! A little tip for the etched badges -- you can usually find somewhere on the decal sheet where there's clear carrier film with no crucial bit of decal underneath (if not in this kit, then on the sheets for another kit in the stash). Sometimes you can apply the badge to that spare clear film, where you can rub it down HARD, then cut out the badge and apply it like any other decal. And if the badge really refuses to stick, use a little Kear/Future/Pledge floor wax on the painted surface and place the badge -- the floor "wax" will glue it to the body when it dries... bestest, M.
