Mercedes Benz SSKL "Mille Miglias 1931" - Matchbox 1:32

My attempt of doing the 1931 Mille Miglias winner




Cut on the wheight.




Starting with the engine




Dry-brush on it


A little of rust



Taking form already




Time to cut again





Engine almost done

All polish





Exaust


The tool box and the oil can





More scrath to the engine bay



The original decals were old and broke in thousand pieces on the water. I use some decals from 1/24 rallye plates.


The exaust in place


Starting the dashboard


The "underground"

Excellent progress. The engine is a jewel. It's hard to believe the scale considering the excellent detailing you are doing.

I take out the original chrome effect and painted with Alclad. Not bad.



To fix better the radiator cap I made an hole and fixed a little sprue.
