Fujimi Mercedes SL500 (R129)
Hi everybody.
It's been 5 years since I had build my last model. I'm back to the hobby with this Fujimi SL500. I'm not pleased with this old Fujimi kit. I will try to make it as good as I can. Fujimi SL500:  Fujimi AMG Wheels:  The car will be Black/Grey with beige or grey interior and black wheels. I will try to post pictures pf the progress with some regularity. Please feel free to comment. Cheers. |

Re: Fujimi Mercedes SL500 (R129)
Good project. I've got a 300sl parked in my stash along with those same wheels.
I've got way too much on my plate or i'd play along.

Re: Fujimi Mercedes SL500 (R129)
It would be a lot easier for you getting back in the hobby if you started with the R129 kit from Tamiya. Anyway, looks good so far...

Re: Fujimi Mercedes SL500 (R129)
Hi Everybody,
All interior parts and the wheels are now ready to paint.  It seams to me that the ride height of the front axle is higher than the rear axle. What do you guys think?  How can I lower the ride height of the rear axle for model that don't have rear suspension? This model has the possibility to me motorized, so doesn't have any suspension detail, only a axle that connects both rear wheels. Can any one help? Cheers. |

Re: Fujimi Mercedes SL500 (R129)
Just drill holes above the ones you already have??? That's the most simple way to lower model cars...

Re: Fujimi Mercedes SL500 (R129)
