Purple Benz 500SL Finished..........

Well, i've been finishing off a few projects recently, models that have been lying around for too long. I started a thread for this project ages ago but didnt follow it up. Anyway heres the finished thing. Tamiya TS (?) purple with Skyline wheels which i think suit it well.
Enjoy the pix, Mike

Mike,
You pick the best colours! Who would have thought a purple benz would look good. Actually it looks much better than good! Awesome comes to mind!

Re: Purple Benz 500SL Finished..........

Hey! Cool it!
You give me complex I'm begining to feel like a snail, I struggle to finish one or two cars in a year and you just keep spitting out good looking cars! As always a nice and shiny paint job from you. You'll have to make it to IPMS-Open next year, the first weekend in April. You'll win big time if you show up with your cars...no kidding, just the plain and simple truth. I'll do my best to match you!
