How to build a realistic 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 300SL step by step

#MercedesBenz300SL #TAMIYA #Modelcar
This time, I made Tamiya Mercedes Benz 300sl plastic model. This kit was very fun to make. It was a first time to paint the car body in black. I like it but it was difficult to work with gloves because fingerprints easily got on it.

Этот набор достоин внимания каждого моделиста. Собирается с удовольствием. Качество Tamiya на высшем уровне.

The Intro with the fast paced sprue snipping was a delightful way to get my interest! Thank you for sharing your work and your tips. I took notes. I built a Monogram version of this in the '70's. It was a test of patience to get through poor fitting parts and instructions that were vague. I forgot how the SL chassis is somewhat like today's NASCAR race cars. I wonder how I can hint to my gene pool that this kit is something I want......

NICE!!!! Great idea about the gloves for final assembly too!

[@plagraphy5276]

Very cool.

Nice job, thanks for sharing the tips for the dashboard details. What paint do you use for chrome as it looks light and shiny? Many thanks

[@brucesmith1383]

Are the parts snap fit, cause I didn’t see you using any glue of any kind!

[@user-sp3zg1qu4v]

Nice! buddy

I’m looking to get into this kind of model work, not sure what to start with though. Here’s a list of the Tamiya models I like the look of (all 1/24): Lexus LFA Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Porsche 911 Turbo ‘88 Porsche 911 GT3 Porsche 911 GT2 Road Mercedes 300sl Ford GT (new) Honda NSX (new) Toyota Supra 2020 McLaren Senna Honda NSX (original) Not sure what the easiest one is.

[@michaelmoline7058]

I've built the senna and this, the 300sl is easier in my opinion, the senna is on a different level of engineering, the body is all in separate parts so painting and final assembly will be more challenging. Both great kits and pretty much fall together. Did you end up trying one?

[@ETGK]

@@michaelmoline7058 not yet, just finding the best time to buy so that I don’t just leave it in the cupboard for a year 😂 thanks for the advice, I think I will end up getting the 300sl

Very nice video. Watched start to finish. What brand and code of paint you used for the body?

[@plagraphy5276]

Thank you for watching:) I used IPP Superblack gloss

[@ScaleVehicles]

@@plagraphy5276 never heard of that brand, it seems very good quality. Is it lacquer based?

[@plagraphy5276]

@@ScaleVehicles Yes, it is a lacquer-based paint. It is a Korean brand.

@@plagraphy5276 awesome. It looks high quality. Thanks for answering.
