AMG SL65 Black Series

Hi Guys

Walked into my local model store & saw this badboy sitting at the top of the stack so being my birthday I got it straight away!

This has to be the Best Aoshima kit ever!!! Its near Fujimi quality!!
Great detail from the box & seems to build up easily, the instructions are a little lacking in detail but otherwise good. I was however disapointed to find that the rear spoiler was molded to the body, so many of the pics Ive seen have the spoiler deployed.
So on to my progress

The Box


The Body - Sex on Wheels!!!!


Spoiler molded to the body


Spolier removed from the body



Body with Colour - Airbrushed with Zero Paints
Nissan Spec V (R35) Midnight Purple


Seperated spolier


First Coat of 2K Clearcoat - will require some wetsanding & another coat of Clear


Colour is amazing with light on it







Interior Parts - I wanted to use a different colour to Semi Gloss Black so went for Tamiyas Nato Black, looks quite good with a couple of coats but has a dark green hue to it in strong light, but I like it.



All parts with Carbon as per 1:1, door inserts have a drepression with AMG logo on 1:1 but thats a little hard to do in plastic


Carbon Backed Bucket seats


Thats it for now, Ive ordered a PE set for it which should arrive in a few days
Thanks
Ash
