Hello

Just slipping in under the wire for 2017 is my final build for the year - the Revell 300SLR "Uhlenhaut Coupe".

I wanted to get this in for this year so just a couple of pics right now - I will post some more (better quality ones!) tomorrow when I will have a tad more time on my hands - for now, I've have an appointment with a few drinkies and general NYE festivities so, until then, a very Happy New Year to you all!!

See all next year!

Cheers

Well those festivities went rather too well so photography was not really on the agenda yesterday.

However, here are a few better shots.

First, a quick summary of the build:

Largely OOB with some detailing in the engine area (eg bits of wiring and re-plumbed the fuel injection lines) and Little-Cars lenses for the headlights. Painted with Halfords aerosol Merc Silver acrylic and clear lacquer. Dead easy to use so will no doubt re-visit this method some time soon as I was having a hell of a time getting a silver down onto the body - something weird about the plastic was the impression I was getting - takes a great polish as well!

Anyway. enough waffle, here she is - hope you like.

C+C welcome as ever!

Thanks Steve and Andy.

True Andy - they're not brilliant but not too bad.

 

Steve, I believe he fitted a suitcase sized silencer to and drove the one with the blue interior
