discussion Mercedes SLS 1/24 Revell

[booozer]

Labour of love, chase after perfection or maybe just maybe my insanity in a styrene form.


I've painted and stripped this body probably 6 times, it took me about a year since the start to finish and this is 2nd body used as first after few too many baths in dot4 eventually dissolved. Revell was very kind to send me parts free of charge. Not a lot of changes om this kit however for the first time I've tried to use photo etched kit - hobby design. Still unsure about those kind of accessories and found it to be rather nerve racking at times. After about 30 min trying to put air vents together that consisted of 3 parts one of them flew toward my carpet only to be lost forever...


Enough of words spilled over this kit... let images do the talking now

I'm not a car builder but that looks very good indeed, I really like the deep red colour. Top job.

Looks like a good build, nice level of finish. Good choice of colour

Cracking build

I'm not a car builder ( and I've tried ) but this is just super and the detail and colour are really sublime.


I like the gull wing doors and that business end of the motor looks very well done


Cracking piece of engineering


Well done


Kind regards

Nice job, I hear the carpet monster is alive and well.

I believe I'm not the only one feeding him! I'm sure there is more people that had parts gone missing...
