This is a build from about three years ago. I have always been a fan of the older Mercedes, especially the Gullwing and Roadster 300 SL's.

I built this out of the box with the only additions being seat belts and the rear window glass for the soft top. I give high kudos to Testors for the quality and fit of the kit parts. This kit was a real pleasure to build as it almost fell together. I didn't bother to detail the engine area as I prefer curbside models.

I used Model Master paints through out the build. I don't remember the name of the color I used for the body, but is it a very close match to the original color used by Mercedes. The color call out is listed in the instructions, which I tossed shortly after completing the model. 

This model placed third in the curbside category during the 2010 IPMS Nationals in Phoenix.

Enjoy the photos.
