Hi all next victim is the italari 1/16 Mercedes 300 SL, first thing I don't like is the distributor and plug leads are molded as part of the rocker cover (I don't even know why they would do that at this scale)

Hi all well for a kit of this age I can't believe how well the body goes together (considering all the complex curves) look how little filler ive used.

I was going to do this deep impact blue (I had a can of it and thought I would use it on this) not quite enough, but it worked as a good primer for this colour. Added some ht leads.

Nice build. I'm so jealous of your painting skills. How did you do the 'carpet' and seat fabric?

No matter what angle you look at the front of the SL 300 she is sexy and beautiful. As a classic its got to be up there with the EType

So I ran into a small problem with the 300SL the track rod end and the top of the king pin were broken off I tried gluing them back on but they just kept braking off so I drilled out where they should have been and added some bent rod to fix it.
It doesn't look very pretty but is not really visible on the model so I'm not too worried about it.

The 300 SL nears completion. Just the exhaust and the fuel tank to add to the underneath then time to add body doors and details.

Looking really good, another nice piece of work :-))

Well its done, it's quite a nice kit (albeit a bit basic) I've enjoyed it, I could have added more detail but most of it would have been underneath so not seen, tbh I couldn't be asked.
