Finally finished one. I still have the headlight wipers to put on, but they'll be on tomorrow.
Tamiya Mercedes 500 SEC Lorinser
Painted with Tamiya paints Pearl White w/Pearl Clear and Clear, polished out as well.
Interior is Testors interior tan from the can and Tamiya semi gloss black.
This was built right out of the box with no after-market items. One of my favorite big bodies.

You can see it was in a different photo setting this time. Trying to use a booth a friend gave me and fiddle with the camera settings again.
Feels good to get one done.

Nice model... not seen one of these before. The car is starting to show its age but I'm sure it would still be a smooth ride.

Very nice!
Looks a lot like a 'bad guy' car from Miami Vice. Very AMG with the body color grill, wheels and body kit.

Exactly where my inspiration came from, Miami Vice.Only it was a black one in one of the episodes.
Thanks for all the comments guys!

Looks great Chris.
What did you use for the engine air cleaner top? I really like the looks and texture of that.

Thanks for the comments guys! I really appreciate them.
Eric, the air cleaner was sprayed with I believe tamiya TS-38, or TS-42, I can't remember. No texture at all, just the metallic in the paint that gives that effect.
Thanks again.
