Re: Tamiya 300SL Gull Wing
Heres a pic from their facebook page. (ignore the tracky thing below it... unless you are that way inclined)
I'm sure it will be a very nice kit and I'll probably buy one.... eventually. Plenty of other subjects I would have preferred, personally but at least they are producing a new car kit... of an old subject. Regards, Dan

Re: Tamiya 300SL Gull Wing

Re: Tamiya 300SL Gull Wing
Looks like a nice kit...of a subject that's not exactly at the top of my wish list. That said, I don't have any SL gullwing kits, so...that might change now.
Clear chassis? Oh my.

Re: Tamiya 300SL Gull Wing
I had been considering the old AMT kit for some time but just wasn't that high on my list of wants. This will most likely move it higher up the list depending on the price tag. It will probably end up in the "to do" pile eventually.

Re: Tamiya 300SL Gull Wing
Sure, there are other things that I'd like to see, given that the Italeri versions are pretty decent, but this is great news...kind of like when Fujimi announced the 250gto and it was the best one yet.

Re: Tamiya 300SL Gull Wing
That's the belly pans represented in clear. Now the aftermarket manufacturers can have a lot of fun...would be nice to see some rudge wheels.

Re: Tamiya 300SL Gull Wing
Okay, I'll need at least two. It's spectacular...and I'm in the "I'd have bought a Lusso long before this" camp...

Re: Tamiya 300SL Gull Wing
already nearly know which will be "my" versions...
racers!! and I am so happy cause Mercedes was a real milestone of motorsport,with an incredible history connected to germany and the nurburgring.hope this is a start of the production of those great cars.I already dream thinking at the heroical pilots racing with theme.. I was lucky to cross one gullwing on the road near linate airport just few days ago, and was amazingly nice and sweet to see her moving around in traffic.

Re: Tamiya 300SL Gull Wing
I've seen real 300 SL's at Amelia Island Concours that had the speaker grilles but no radio under the dash, I don't think it's a mistake on Tamiya's part.
