In Progress: Mercedes CLK-GTR
Hey, this is my first In Progress topic and my third car model ever. I got it off my friend who started it but didnt do a very good job. So I decided to take it off his hands and restore it.
Its a Tamiya Mercedes CLK-GTR...  ...and so far everythings going good. I just finished priming the body but I think I need one more coat on the back part.  The engine has finished soaking in its CSC bath and is now ready for its paint.  If the weather is nice I'll paint the engine and hopefully get it put together. Sorry for the big pictures.

A word of advice, it would be better if you glue all body parts together before painting(especially the roof scoop which should not have a seam)you will get a sturdier model and less chance of getting glue on a painted body.

Well I was feeling sorry for Mercedes after loosing 3 races in a row so I thought it was the least I could do
. Thanks, and by the way Michael doesnt need luck to win his races. Unlike that one guy Kimi .

 , either that or you are an imposter :oMichael was a Mercedes protege in sportscars along with Frentzen and Wendlinger (who were alegedly quicker). MB even paid for his first F1 drive in the Jordan. He dumped them pretty quick after that though. Yes Kimi does need luck to win races at the moment, hopefully that will change if the MP4/18 levels the playing field. Very OT I know. :silly2: Hey moderators can I change my nick to Marcus Gronholm?

Well I didnt get around to painting the engine but I did finish priming the body.
 I think I'll do they engine tomorrow since I'll have more time. Thats all for today. I think MP4/18 is going to have trouple leveling the playing field after the times it posted for day 1 of testing .
