After months of fabrication, it is done. BTW, it is my first attempt using bare metal foil for the chromes, not perfect but good enough to my standard..
Brabus rear spoiler added ("blu-tack"ed on and can be removed if i change my mind later on) right from the Revell Brabus 230E kit. AMG wheels from the Tamiya AMG SL are used. Tamiya Ferrari F360 brakes are hiding behind the AMG wheels. Lowered front and rear.

Acustion 1/24 Mercedes Emblems are used, the emblems on the left should read E500 and the right should read //AMG. sorry for the blurry pics and my 6.0m digital camera wasnt showing.

don't be alarmed with the rear spoiler, the blu-tack wasn't holding very well

Some interior pics, dash is from the Revell Brabus 230E kit. Front and Rear seats, door panels are from Fujimi 190E Evo II finished in Tamiy haze grey. Scratch build front and rear hand rests, hand brushed in brown and washed with smoke to get that wood trim look.

awesome. i'd love to see a better shot of the front and rear armrests, though you've probably glued it all together by now.

Good work. That's a tough kit to work with because of the lack of detail and the awful representation of the car. You've been the best at tackling it and turning it into a nice model!

I love it!! Although it's an offscale kit. You can made it best in my opinion.
