Tamiya Merc 500SEC Cpe

This kit I will be building along with my S600 AMG Cpe just for fun. I'm thinking of painting it Two-Tone Grey.

This is the look I want for this kit. What do you think?

For some reason, i really like these big old benzs. The one you have pictured looks good, the bbs seem to not fit it well though. Don't get me wrong, bbs look good on anything, but i would go with a older style wheel set, and also maybe 1-2inches smaller.

Hey MidMarzar, I agree with what you said about the older big Benzs. They are soo nice even when you see them on the street today. I went through a lot of 500sec pictures but when I saw that silver car pic, that was the look I wanted. I am sanding out the molding lines and will paint soon. Too many WIP projects and I don't just mean the ones I have on AF. Anyway, Thanks.

love your style, completely!
Go for the one in your pic.. it's very right on.

Love all your projects, you've got the style that I appreciate.

Definately like that picture of the 1/1 you posted. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

bbs or not bbs what is sure is that the original tamiya wheels are really ugly and small as fiat 500 ones

Thanks for the comments guys.

Not much like I wanted.

I then tried Tamiya TS-15 Blue.

Not crazy for the blue either. I am thinking of keeping the blue or change to red.

Some updates.

The last time you guys saw this car, I didn't know what I wanted to do with it and it ended up looking like this.

Nice come back! Like to clean white look as well!

Looks good in white...better than the blue that's for sure :smile:

the blue was okay but the white is spot on! those wheels are perfect for it.

Looks perfect in white! I love the wheels too. Any thoughts on the interior?

Very nice. What wheels are those?

This kit I will be building along with my S600 AMG Cpe just for fun. I'm thinking of painting it Two-Tone Grey.

I dont know....I love your skills cause u bounced back from the stripping very well but I feel this car calls more for standard wheels if you aren't putting a body kit on it or something. Just my 2cents.
