Just bought this, I’m not much into cars nor this particular “Merc” but couldn’t pass up the “Full View” edition :). Should be in in 10 or so days.

That's a great entry, Cricket @bikequeen Will look wonderful with the clear top part.
@johnb thanks John, I think it will be pretty neat 🙂 Of course it will be 2 years before I finish the Ducati 😉
Definitely one ofTamiya’s better car kits, Cricket @bikequeen.
Great buy, my friend @bikequeen! Looking forward to it!
@fiveten @chinesegeorge thanks guys I will let you know when it arrives 🙂
Did a bit of work on this today…a break from bikes and the new albeit stressful job 🙂

Good start, Cricket @bikequeen, the way the chassis builds up just like the real thing is very impressive, and those drum brakes, amazing.
Excellent job so far, my friend @bikequeen!
This is some serious framework, Cricket @bikequeen
@chinesegeorge @johnb @fiveten thanks guys! The frame was delicate but went well, George the brake drums were clear plastic ?!? Sprayed with Metallic Grey
More done today also got the interior tub and dash, but no pics of those

Coming along nicely, Cricket @bikequeen, everything fits perfectly. What I meant about the brake drums is that it’s hard to imagine a car of such performance having drum brakes. I think disc brakes were first used by Jaguar at the Le Mans 24 hour race in the 1950s.
Some really nice progress, Cricket @bikequeen That frame does indeed look fragile, but you managed to get it together nicely.
Excellent job, my friend @bikequeen!
