You have really created a collector's piece out of a Monogram kit. Great job.

Splendid, what did you use on the seats? decals in the kit?

Beautiful job on this build.

Re: Mercedes 300 SLR "722"

This is a fantastic model. The paint looks superb. I like the dirtyness of the silver!

The only downside are the rims. They look aweful - which is not your mistake. Think about exchanging them for some PE-Wheels (maybe the Hasegawa 250TR-Wheels??) or downtoning them.

I thank all the comments.The decals of the seats comes in the kit and were coated with a layer of very matte varnish. The body was painted with Tamiya TS 76 mica silver.

Thanks again
Jano, sorry but I forgot to comment above that I found the kit very good and almost did not have any problem with the assembly and alignment. As an old kit, parts only required more cleaning work.
