Tamiya S600 AMG Cpe

I am starting this kit because I just got Hobby Design Photo Etch parts to help with the look. Don't know what color to make it. Maybe Dark Blue?

The set-up.

Did a little sanding out the mold lines. Don't know if it should be painted Dark Grey or Dark Blue. Once it's primed, I will figure something. What color do you think would be nice?

I'm not crazy over kit wheels so I decided to take Fujimi AMG wheels, cut and put them in Pegasus rims as I did on my black E55 I built awhile back.

I like how in several of your kits you have cut the wheels to improve them. I have so many rims that just need to be bigger so, I need to try what you are doing.

Here are the wheels. I did my own AMG style wheels for this car. I may take the original wheels and put them in sleeves but for now I will use this style.

I think I like the look of wheels with this car.

awesome job on the wheels, the stock tamiya amg wheels do look a bit tiny under the big s600 body.

you have a lot of projects going on at the same time and I love all of them!

Painted this Tamiya White primer than TS-30 Silver Leaf. Than TS-13 Clearcoat. I like this color more than I thought I would.

rear wheels need more lip. looks like a great build so far

Very nice "silver arrow"! I'm digging those rims, they look awesome!

The new rims are much better! Keep up the great work!

Cheers!

Nice work so far, looks great

Neat project.....:smokin:
I too love the look you achieved doing the rims that way, though I would also add a little more dish to the rears....maybe, if not too late..:wink:
The silver suits it nicely too...:thumbsup:
