My in progress Merc *1 PIC*

[73superduty]

That's Mercedes for you, "ahem", older guys...LOL
Remember Miami Vice from 1986? I remember seeing this car in one episode, only it was white. Well I built one as a kit, you can only imagine, and thought I'd try my hand at it again. This one in black with 18" stich dish wheels. Door handles will be alclad as well as the merc emblem on the hood.
Light tan interior. This being curbside and my first Mercedes to add to the ever growing collection.
I gotta say I really am impressed with Tamiya paint. This is fresh outta the dehydrator. Needs a wet sanding and maybe another color coat and then clear. Link follows with only two more pics.

Check out the link for only two more pics:

Hoo-Boy! If that ain't the purtiest paint ever, I don't know what is!

Seriously, that's a beautiful car there, so keep it up!

Loving the effect of the whole style! So 80s!

With about 14" of snow outside and the boss saying stay home I decided to take a break from GT4 and work a little bit more on my Revell Mercedes 190E. A note about the kit plastic, very brittle.
Anyway, I was having some problems with the wheels and suspension, mainly attaching and mounting.
Some tube evergreen cut to fit was the ticket for attaching. Finally got it lowered where I want now. Not too flashy, and it won't be. The door handles will be chrome and a few odds and ends. The interior is a light tan.
The wheels are Aoshima Stich Dish.
Enjoy!

I want the same model ! ! ! !

I looking for MB 190E 2.5 16v or 2.3 16v but I can't find it (

But I want to paint it in black (up) add silver or silver+gray down. My good friend has a real 190E 2.5-16v and this is real sport car. I want to have a small replica of this car but it is impossible to me to buy this model

I have fujimis 190E Evo 2 (in box) but I have to have "normal" 2.5 16v !!!

BTW: Cruz -> Thans for logo !

Thanks Mr. Benz!
This is the Revell Road & Track model kit. IT's a fairly hard kit to find now. I bought two of them and glad I did as the plastic is very brittle. I've broken a few parts by accident. One body was badly warped.
I know Fujimi maeks a kit as well.
