kpnuts Posted March 1, 2021 #1 Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Hi all next victim is the italari 1/16 Mercedes 300 SL, first thing I don't like is the distributor and plug leads are molded as part of the rocker cover (I don't even know why they would do that at this scale) Edited March 1, 2021 by kpnuts Old Collingwood, Canute, Egilman and 6 others 9

Danstream Posted March 16, 2022 #4 Posted March 16, 2022 Great model and great paintwork as usual. Could you maybe tell us a bit about the paint you use for the bodywork? Is the chrome coming with the kit parts or is applied by you?

kpnuts Posted March 16, 2022 Author #5 Posted March 16, 2022 Hi thanks Yves I do like a big kit. Dan I use cheap paint from cheapo shops like b and m or q d I decant it into my airbrush and spray from there ( I sometime use a shading colour underneath to enhance the shape or add age) Canute, Danstream, popeye the sailor and 5 others 7 1
