Fujimi E55 AMG New Black Body

Hello, I have this Fujimi Mercedes E55 AMG that I built awhile back but was wondering what it would look like in black. I had another kit on hand so decided to do a new body and will permanently make it black. It's almost like getting a new kit built but in less time.


Here is what original looked like.


Here is new body in beginning and after some rubbing.










Here is the original base. Fujimi wheels are too small so I used sleeves.




Any comments or ideas always welcome.

Looks good. i like your interior too. I'm building one also. I just finished attaching the front bumper and filling the gap (since the post-2000 E-classes had seamless bumpers). I can't decide between black or Designo Variocolor Blue/Purple.

Not yet done but the end is almost near for this baby. Should be done tomorrow. Just need to add headlight lenses, hood emblem, other emblems and tail pipe tip.

Re: Fujimi E55 AMG New Black Body

Thanks for the comments. With a little work, you can make any kit look good. It looks a little better in person than in the picture because of my lighting is not the best. I am really liking this black color much better than when I did it in sliver plus I put a little more detail in this time.
