IN-Progress Modified SL500
Hi all,
This is actually my first in progress thread. The kit is Tamiya SL 500. I know its an old kit, but I love Mercedes SL, so I will try to do my best on building it. I used Testors Gray Primer to cover the body and check for flaws.  The chassis is somewhat done, and I gave it a wash with TS-71 Smoke.  Test-fit the engine to chassis. Engine compartment is almost done too.  Hope you guys like it..... thx for checking out this thread. Any comments are welcome.

Re: IN-Progress Modified SL500
Updates....
I installed the brakes from NSX GT.  The engine is done!  Interior shots: Two-tone (black and sky grey) interior.   The wheels are actually 18" Gartmaier (Brabus Monoblock IV Multi Piece), but I also added 19" lips. I am planning of painting the wheels in gun metal.  Hope you all like it!

Re: IN-Progress Modified SL500
Looking great so far but don't forget to clear the wheels so they shine a bit.

Re: IN-Progress Modified SL500
Hi All......
Finally I managed to paint the body with 3 coats of Gunmetal, and 3 coats of clear..... It still needs some polishing Here is the pic of the body and chassis  Front view   Rear view  I also painted the wheels with Gunmetal and coated with semi gloss.  I used the muffler from S600AMG Coupe   Side view  I still need to polish and compound the body.......... What do you guys think? Last edited by ddtham; 03-11-2006 at 07:51 PM.
