WIP: Mercedes Benz W124 500E

Hi guys, just wanted to share with you my current project. The 500E was developed in conjuction with Porsche back in 1991. It has only been built for 4 years, with the top line E 500 Limited at the end of 1994. Equipped with a V8 engine and gearbox from the SL, bigger fender flares, bigger brakes from the SL and sport suspension tuning, etc.. which makes it a very unique sport sedan when it was first introduced.



the Base model is a 1/24 Revel Brabus 230e, squarish curbside with no engine, basic interior, etc... what i have done so far are fender flares, side lower door panels, scratch build front and rear bumpers, side skirts, re-styled the hood to the "face lifted" version where the front grill is "integrated" with the hood in one piece, and round off the corners of the front headlight. All parts in white are resin copies of scratch built/modified parts, as i will be doing an AMG wagon version later on..

Sorry for the essay and here are the pics, more pics will be added later on. Hope you guys like it and comments are welcome (good or bad )
