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 :sunglasse

Niiiiiiiiiiice! Like that color!

Excellent build!!!!

sweeeeeeeet
i like the color too

Nice build. What brand is the kit?

Love the color! very clean build. :)

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!

Good colour choice there. I like it!

ahhh very nice, love the 2 tone

That looks sweet!!! :smokin:

One of Tamiyas best and definitely a great built of yours. :grinyes:
Except for the rear bumper ;)

SWWEEEETT! lovely job Mike!

That is sweeeeeet Mike. Nice colour and those wheels look perfect. Are they Skyline wheels?
Always nice to see your work.

Another great job from you.
I like that pic of the engine best

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!

Wow, thanks for the nice words everyone. Niclas, i've had about 5 projects going at the same time, i painted all 5 car bodies during the summer outside when it was warm. Still two left to complete before xmas. Im gonna do my best to get to the IPMS open in April.

Thanks, Mike :sunglasse
