WIP - Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren

Hello all

Have got the Tamiya new released item - 1/24 Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren and I do not hesitate to start this project

Here are some update pics:

"Kick off..."


Have sprayed a layer of grey primer for the checking body



1. sanding mould lines - mainly found on the frout bumper and the monoque, not much mould lines were found on other panels
2. some holes filled with putty







3. brake disc painted, seats painted and need masking for seat-back colour
tonight






Hope you enjoy and stay tune !!!

Happy modelling

Mikusen

How did you get it so quick? I am still waiting for HLJ to get them to send me one.

It looks like yours will look good.

Re: WIP - Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren

That's excatly how I want to build my SLR . Actually I don't like the car really much but it looks damn good in black. You did a great job so far! I am also curious to know what clear you used, Finisher's GP1/GP2??
