I am about half way through, found it quite tricky in comparison to the Nismo, the engine can be challenging at times to put together, i think the stickers will be the biggest challenge, flippin loads of them

Top marks on the Nismo, one of my favourite cars, looking forward to seeing the Merc, main thing is to just take your time & have fun...

Thanks for the comments people. Just browsing another forum and came across this Z Tune, would like to build another one especially in this colour, the person does not mention what the colour code is, anyone have a vague idea??

Yeah i noticed that but i dont have a brush small enough to do a thorough job. I will probably add it at a later date.

Nice clean build Adam!

If you do not have a brush small enough try using a tooth pick, really good way of painting very fine details....they are cheap too!

Well done

Top tip there and that to me looks to notch for a first attempt. I have just started myself and will be more than happy if my first attempt is this good.

[Guest]

Nice start, now you just need to dirty it up a bit... a bit of dirt, mud, rust and dents and... er no not rust or dents, sorry thats the military modeller in me coming out...

Hi Adam what a cracker of a build and a first too, well done.
