Re: Superdetailed Mercedes Benz 300 SL
Oli, thats perfect!! I am going for the set up in picture 1, but I am putting a spare wheel, without tire on it, becuase some of them didn't have the tires mounted on, just the spare wheel from the factory (I read).

I am also working on retaining straps and the leather tool bag.. Thank you for the photos!

Updates time.

Painted the body pieces, Mercedes Sea Gull grey metallic. OEM paint from Dupont. 6 Clear coats later... I am thinking about not polishing it because the 56 paint wasn't really all that polished and clayed out of the factory. What do you think?









I think its pretty good shine...





From my "what if" file... a V10 Viper motor?



what do you think?

Polish it!

And for gods sake no Viper motor, that is the most over used motor in modeling history....

Re: Superdetailed Mercedes Benz 300 SL
Yikes, love that interior and boot insert. No harm to polish the body, unless you have references to the contrary.
I take it the Viper engine is just a joke!

I would deffintely not use the Viper motor, I just think its super wicked looking.

Why do you think I should polish it? It doesn't look good the way it is now?
