Mercedes GT3 COMPLETE

[keavdog]

I drive American cars - my track cars are a 2009 Dodge Charger pushing 760 RWHP and a 2013 Boss 302 Laguna Seca for the twisties. But this sexy bitch has me thinking... so I'm doing a build of the kit to dip my toe in the international waters.

Applying Alclad to race cars!









She's coming along. For a curb side kit it's a lot of work.

Yeah boy, now we're talking! This kit is also waiting in my stash along with some fancy Manga decals.
How's fit and all?

[keavdog]

Its like legos. Awesome fit.

Working through the decals.

[Stikpusher]

Prepainted? Or is this just assembling that rapidly?

[keavdog]

Ha... what is preprainted? Like most Tamiya kits this is falling together. That and I had 2 days in a row with 8 hours at the bench. My neck hurts...lol

[mostrich]

No matter if Tamiya or not, that is an incredible pace!

[keavdog]

Calling this done. Nice kit - lot's of decal work. And, callouts to paint things semigloss black that later have carbon fiber decals...some not so easy to paint. Just more reinforcement to review assembly more before building. Also decals on the semigloss finish Tamiya TS-100 leaves some of the decals shining a bit. A better modeler would figure that out. Anyhow - very nice kit. I screwed a couple things up as usual, but I like the overal finish.
