Okay.
Here we go with my third build. This is the long anticipated 300sl release from tamiya. Just been looking through the kit; and the quality of the parts are extraordinary. Really clean and crisp. Quite complex kit this one. As said before I'm going down acrylic route on much of the body work and large coverage areas, and keeping to enamel on the metal parts and space frame assembly and mechanics.
Not sure what colour I'm going to paint the car yet. I might go for a lovely gloss black and interior either ox blood red or dark green leather.
Apparently the customer could order the car and upholstery in any colour they chose so have a vote.
The space frame is black in the instructions, but I'm going white as this real frame for a genuine 300sl shows. Also I'm going to do a powder dust over it to pick up the joins in the frame which will make it look more real.
