kpnuts Posted March 1, 2021 Share #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 GrandpaPhil, popeye the sailor, Old Collingwood and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvesvidal Posted March 16, 2022 Share #3 Posted March 16, 2022 If there is a big and beautiful car kit on the market, KPNuts has it !!!! Superb model, once again. Yves Canute, popeye the sailor, Danstream and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danstream Posted March 16, 2022 Share #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? Thank you and congrats, Dan king derelict, Egilman, Jack12477 and 4 others 7 Quote Current build : Mayflower - AL 1:64 Completed non-ship builds : Spitfire MK I - 1:48, Arado 196B - 1:32, Sea Fury - 1:48, F-15C Eagle - 1:48, Hawker Tempest Mk.V - 1:48, F104S Starfighter - 1:48 "The most effective way to do it, is to do it" - Amelia Earhart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share #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) Old Collingwood, Egilman, king derelict and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
