Hello all. This part of the forum seems to be gathering cobwebs so I intend to change that. I will be building this but not in this livery.  Just getting the paint sorted, combination of Zero Paints and Tamiya's new Laquer Paint. Back soon... |

Good show Mence  I must admit this is one area I avoid  , but watching you build this may change that  |

Wow, the box art is impressive and I bet your build will be far better! AS Paul, that's an area that I avoid too.

Sorry for the delay chaps, waiting on the decals from overseas, reluctant to make a start until they are here which should have been days ago.  |

Chaps. Decals have arrived so I have made a start. She's a curbside kit so no engine to worry about but the suspension is involved requiring a lot of painting before assembly. So here we are, carbon decals added to the front splitter as well as AMG logos on each brake caliper. Shame you will only see 10% of all this.  I will have a fiddle with the interior next. |

Missed this but so glad to find it now. I’ll tag along as your car builds are always great.

Chaps. Fairly uncluttered interior is complete. Seatbelts are decals which I'm no fan of but once again, not much can be seen when she's buttoned up.  Onwards... |

Wheels and tyres. First of the aftermarket decals make an appearance, quick tidy up and a coat of Matt clear and we're good to go.  Back soon. |

Ace wheels. The decals are the yellow, yes?
