DTM 1992 #3 Sonax Boss Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evo2

I promised to compare 1/24 ESCI MB190E and real. I am surprised myself.
Look:

[lovegt40]

Esci tail looks totally mistaken, and in my opinion Fujimi body is also too narrow.
I already cut the 4 fenders and enlarged all theme for 0.75 on each side. More I look at Fujimi body more I think there is to cut. Next step will be the front bumper. Will not post pics here not to dirt Henrik nice thread.

@lovegt40: no problem, you can post your pics here....

[Matwej]

So I'm sorry. I just wanted to support my thesis that Esci is better.
I think the ground plan is better than Fujimi.But It does not matter. You both do a great job. Pleasure to watch.

Starting to correct the windows, pillars and the area under the doors.









the rear bumper is also incorrect...











The body is almost done...the comparison with my Autoart Evo looks good.

Great work on this Mercedes!

[johanthemodeler]

great job. You should cast it as a tk for us that don´t have the talent to do the same work can get a correct body

[lovegt40]

coming real nice Henrick.

I think there is (maybe) still something missing in lenght of the front bumper. Look carefully the pic of the comparison to the autoart model. It looks quite longer.
Also the inner lower part of the front wheel arch probably must be changed. take a look , maybe is just my foolness or maybe not ..

The body is done and ready for the livery.

The grey one is the modified body and the white one is the original fujimi body.

























The chassis is from a Esci Mercedes...start to fix them.
