cmatthewbacon Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 No build thread for this one, since it's been a blitz for the Classic British Kits SIG display celebrating Matchbox kits at this year's Scale Model World: It's a very nice kit with astonishing fit for its age. There some really tricky joints here and there -- mudguard fittings and lights, especially. If I was doing another, I'd put pins in the joints where the main exhaust meets the headers coming off the engine. With more time it would benefit from a bit more detailing around the engine and accurising the cockpit. If you Google "Amalgam Mercedes SSKL 1931" you'll find a spectacular and well photographed display model, which was invaluable reference.... certainly better documented than the real thing online! best, M. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
