Mercedes Benz 350 Gull Wing 1955

This the Revell 1/12 scale kit which is quite a monster ...I converted to a custom model  after seeing A Kindig presentation on TV  how this beautiful machine was customized .

I decided that I had to have a go and hence the result...Not an easy build but I enjoyed every minute

Suspension moved lowered  and modified to accommodate the wide wheels which I put on .....detailed engine and interior

Finished in mouse grey using Gravity paints and lacquer.

I hope you like it.....Thank you and regards from Malta

Fabulous looking Mercedes.  Excellent attention to detail.

[SpikeSchumacher]

Beautifully done Louis!

[Hi-Po]

Very nice, neat and clean.

Beautiful looking paint finish and interior. I don't think my work bench would be big enough to build a 1/12 scale model. Like the engine detailing and the interior trim.

Absolutely gorgeous build in every way. I have great admiration for anyone that takes on these large scale kits.

[Yeah Nah]

Gorgeous build of one of my all time favourite Mercs!

[XYHARRY]

Very cool build there Louis, also my favourite Mercedes. I also like how you display your builds on their individual base boards. Well done. 

Cheers,

A spectacular job on a terribly inaccurate kit. You really turned it into a silk purse.

The historic Mercedeas purist in me wants to call it blasphemy but the Dave Kindig fan in me has both thumbs up! Nice work!
