Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Revell 1/24

Dear fellow modellers,

today I picked up my christmas present for some pics to start the WIP.......





Yes, that´s nice...










Here are now the original wheels. Fine rims, but without tyres. How about that? Revell did a mistake in the packing department. The guys there packed the wrong tyres inside. The SLS is fast I bet, but do we need F1-tyres? No. So the correct one I´ve ordered...

For the first pics I used some other tyres...





It seems, that the wheels have the right size!!! Thanks Revell





The other purpose for the wheels are the Brabus of the Aoshima SL. I think, I´ll use them.





I hope, you´ll enjoy the pics. It´s a fine kit, with many parts in nearly Tamiya quality.
Only one thing to say: Please Revell, stop your special style to fix the wheels! Take the same system like Tamiya, Fujimi, Aoshima........ It would be a big wish for the next kit.


Now back to my kit.

Colour? Probably dark grey (no metallic)

Interior? Red

Rims? the Brabus´


So, let´s wait and see how fast I can finish it.


Tschöö
