    Hello,

    before you paint the body you should fill the gap at the rear below the triangular window, the original has no gap here.

    Yes keramh, I am going to fill that and fill the eyebrows over the wheel wells. I will post pics of the progress. 

  2. Keramh, I’m sorry, I just realized what you are talking about. I have pics and am going to try to remove them. If not Mark A said he is going to look into getting another set of emblems. If he does I will try to get you a set also. But for now I’m going to try to remove them without destroying them. Keep you updated.

    Hello,


    I also want to repaint my 300 SL.

    do you have an idea / solution for the necessary decals or etched parts for the star and lettering?

    Jeramy, hello, I do not have the necessary etched parts for that. I am not painting the hub caps , will probably leave them silver although they are supposed to be the color of the car. The dash as well. But if it does not look right I will mask the hubcaps and custom etch a 300 sl emblem for the dash.  Alot of work but will be worth it. 

  4. Pack one is complete. One side of the engine. Tire and wheel , steering wheel and dash. Grill. Pretty detailed. And a very nice chrome. What I have noticed is that the screws are easier to screw in. Very nice .

  5. Since I am painting this , I am filling the pin marks. I am sanding the seam lines and repainting the parts that I sand.  These steps are not necessary as the kit is fantastic. Just going a little step further on this build. I painted a agora cobra 427 from the blue to a red. The blue paint on the cobra is really good, but just wanted a change from everyone else’s 427 cobra. Same here on the Gullwing. Filled the pin marks and primed. Black paint next week.

    I did take a look at the GT and you are quite right, some of the finer detail is lacking.

    I would like to think there is something out there between the DeAgostini and the Amalgam version which is just ridiculously priced, fine detail is one thing but £13,995 for a model….. fairly sure there aren’t many of us willing to pay that…..and you don’t even get the honour of building it

    I built one and it needs a little detail. But it builds nicely.

  7. The changes, painted wheels, body, side exhaust, rollbar. This is a very cool kit! Just changed it up a little. Added rivets to the hood and scoop. Mark printed them out on his printer.
