52 LM Mercedes 300SL

52 Le Mans winner by Fernando Pinto models in Portugal. Sorry for the crappy photos, really need to get a better camera (and photographer). Pretty much out of the box, overall kit design is quite good but had a lot of pin holes, especially in the chassis. MCW lacquer silver with Testors clear. I'll try to get some better pics if I can talk my friend into taking some for me.

Still need to work on the fit of the hood a little.

Very nice! Who sells these kits?

Thanks! I think he deals exclusively on E-Bay. At least that's the only place I've ever seen them.

What a beauty, great job you did here.

Looks awesome. Which silver did you buy from MCW?

Thanks, Mike.

Got to agree with Quaddy, that really is a true beauty! We need more oldies like this round here!:licka:

It really looks great Mike. I have noticed more pin holes on the newer models I just received. I think Fernando needs someone to help with FPPM production. He brings out a new 1/24th FPPM kit every month and casts them by himself I understand!! He is selling alot of kits now. You have to get one of his wire wheels kits. The 1930's wire wheels are amazing!!

I just got more of his FPPM Alfa 2.3 8C kits someone wanted and have to say the hand laced wire wheels are the best I have ever seen in a 1/24th kit.

FPPM 1950 Talbot Lago and 1962 Ferrari Lemans winner kits are almost ready I understand.

We need to support this small prolific company so that we can get more great classic car old school kits from them!! Fernando has a great eye and alot of rare talent.

Thanks everyone. I used MCW 2150 silver. Originally bought for the Le Mans Audi R8's still in my "to do" pile.
