This is the AMT/ERTL kit. I thought I would never get this thing done. I painted the first coat on when when I was in 9th grade, and left it alone. I started working on it again this summer after graduation, and I finished painting the body and all of the parts. I had to wait about five months to get my wheels from HLJ due to a shipping problem, and then I forgot to bring the clear pieces with me when I went to college. I finally got my pieces last week, and I got everything done a couple of days ago.
Anyway, the model is painted Testors black blue pearl. The wheels are Fujimi 18" BBS RG, and are painted the same color. Although the front wheels stick out a bit, the steering doesn't move completely, and two of the wheels don't roll, I'm still proud of this one, lol. I think this is my best paint job so far. I noticed that I had a lot more patience when working on this one. This would have to be my dream German car. I plan to build the Tamiya version in the exact same color and use the same wheels, and see how it comes out. Oh yeah, I wanted to point out that I didn't use primer when painting the body.
Thiere are a couple rough edges on the glass. I couldn't really do too much about it. Crappy AMT models.
I posted these engine pics a while ago.
