Lee Chambers Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi guys, this is the final reveal of the Mercedes AMG GT3 race car. This was a challenging kit to build for me, the kit decals were very thick, I had to use Tamiya X20A thinner to soften the decals on the rear wing and the carbon decals to get them to settle down, also I found the rear lights tricky to install. In order to preserve the matt finish on the body, I used Deluxe Materials Glue and Glaze to attach all of the lights and the windows etc, including the door handles and the mirrors to avoid marking the matt finish. Overall, for my first performance race car that I've ever built, I am happy with how it turned out. Enjoy the ride guys! Finally, you can see my work in progress of this build below. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I'm not normally a car builder, but for some reason this kit appeals to me That and the forthcoming Belkits Manta am I coming down with something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 This is such a 'evil-looking' car if ever there was one, and you've done it full justice! Cheers Hans J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
