Mercedes c-9....wip

I needed a break from large scale,so I started this. Its Tamiya's C-9. I cut out the drivers side door, have done some work on the engine bay and engine. I am waiting on some carbon fiber and carbon kevlar decals to arrive in the mail. I have a bunch of Tamiya's "C" class stuff on the way so stay tuned.

In the C9 the driver sits on the right hand side, on the left is something which looks like a seat. So yes he has correctly cut out the driver door on the right side of the car.

Looking very good. Though, it may just be a kit thing, but that right front fender looks awfully fragile.

Re: Re: Re: Mercedes c-9....wip

I was wondering about the side of door too until I found these 2 pictures.
The driver door is on the right side.
