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

You could get away with it if it was a rally car ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) 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 ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Update time whehey. I gave some of the taillight assembly parts a coat of Tamiya clear red ![](https://i.ibb.co/Jcgs5y2/amg-gt3-48.jpg) 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 ^^ ![](https://i.ibb.co/SmpgGYM/amg-gt3-49.jpg) 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. ![](https://i.ibb.co/LRZmr72/amg-gt3-50.jpg) 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) ![](https://i.ibb.co/xD3dxT6/amg-gt3-51.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/hftJySG/amg-gt3-52.jpg) Ready for a coat of satin varnish and then we can almost start the fun ^^
