AMG SL65 Black Series

Hey guys

Just finished another build!

Aoshimas fantastic AMG Black kit with PE detail up set + SMS CF decals.
Colour is Nissan GTR Spec V Midnight Purple from Zero Paints, which is very hard to photograph. Loved the kit, would build another in a heartbeat.
Only downside is spolier is molded to body in down position, so I carefully removed it & poped it up.

Let me know what you think!!!
Cheers
Ash












Re- chromed exhausts need to be attached....


PE brakes look great behind these wheels!












Thanks for looking!!!
Ash

Re: AMG SL65 Black Series

Looks good. I also have this kit. Been working on it off and on for over a year. Just wondering where the exhaust tips are on yours? I didn't see them in any of the photos!

Great work Ash! Maybe you can give the front emblem a bit wash to get the edges neater and apply a better decal on the number plate. :-)

I havent finished the exhaust tips yet, went to put them on & wasnt happy with the molding & chrome. Aoshima put the mold seams right behind the "tip" & chromed over it, looks pretty terrible so last minute decided to re-chrome.

Tang - I hadnt considered a wash for the emblem, I'll give that a shot tonight!
& yeah the number plate is photoetched, the AMG is "engraved" into it, I though it was a tad bright so added a wash to dull it down, bit of a mistake but I can live with it. I also used a liquid mask to spary the black first & then bruhed the edges, not perfect but its ok
