Smile Mercedes Benz 560SEC Convertible

Now, this will be the second model i present here on AF and i hope you like it.
I still have to practice taking real good pictures, so please be gentle
The little pictures are only a preview, so please click to enlarge

This was the kit i used for this:

These "Premium" kits were simply the best Revell ever made, if you ask me Some of these were reissued Fujimi kits i think.

I build it completely OOB, except for the Fujimi 18" AMG wheels.
It is painted with an original BMW spray can (doesnīt hurt me anyway ), but i canīt remember the exact definition or number.

Please tell me, what you think about it:

Thank you all for your comments, makes me really proud

@KustmAce
A sedan is a 4-door, right? My dad still has one of those as a 500SE AMG. Iīm going to build this as a model, too one day

@swollen
Yes, the kit came with Borbet Aīs, but not as shown on the box.
The parts of the kit have much less.....canīt translate the word "Tiefbett".....less well width!?-drop centre!? Do you know, what i mean??

My local hobby shop has two of those old Revell Premium kits, two BMW's but he wants "an arm & a leg" for them !

Give him two legs, these kits are worth it and youīre still able to build it without them
