Nice choice, don't see many modeled. Maybe to encourage you to keep the hood bonnet shut:smiling:. PaulE

Hi all well for a kit of this age I can't believe how well the body goes together (considering all the complex curves) look how little filler ive used.

Deep Impact Blue - that's the colour of my Ford Focus. Some people said it suits my driving style!
Nice paintwork, and that engine is great!

Yes was the colour of our old fiesta (I really love that colour)
 
Some excellent additions to the engine Ken.

I had a bit of a reputation when I was working Paul. Mostly people running into my car when it was parked. Allegedly.

So I ran into a small problem with the 300SL the track rod end and the top of the king pin were broken off I tried gluing them back on but they just kept braking off so I drilled out where they should have been and added some bent rod to fix it.
It doesn't look very pretty but is not really visible on the model so I'm not too worried about it.

Did a Tamiya version of this a while back, you're doing better than I did, color looks good, got halfway through it and broke or lost a few bits, ended up in the shooting gallery it bounced on first shot, then I killed it.

Ken, good recovery on those track rod ends, even if they can't be seen. Think the colour is great, such a deep gloss .
