Tyres look very realistic Wouter.
Is your absence due to a delivery?

You could get away with it if it was a rally car What you don't know is that he's trying to shrink himself to go for a spin with it. This being a 1:24 scale car he won't fit in his masterclass 1:35 scale KING TIGER!!! OK now I'm sure he wants to rip my face off lol! Looking the biz as usual !

Thanks guys and LOL, completely missed this. Planeguy: you're on my blacklist now Update time whehey. I gave some of the taillight assembly parts a coat of Tamiya clear red And then the Merc grille. This piece comes in a chrome coated plastic piece by Tamiya. But the inside of the vertical struts in general are painted black or have carbon detail. So, I sprayed the piece with Tamiya black, and then with a cotton bud dipped in X-20 I rubbed the front pieces, as wel as the Mercedes star. This removed the black paint and made them shiny again ^^ Front winglets were painted black, and glued in place. I also painted some of the details like the front splitter in black. And some final details were added as well. Finally, the inside of the interior side parts of the rear wing were painted in green, more or less the same as the green on the decals, but not 100% thesame colour. (Boy I'm having a hard time to get the yellow correct on photo today (atrb_partsz) Ready for a coat of satin varnish and then we can almost start the fun ^^
