Mercedes SLS AMG Drift
Posted by PatW on Saturday, December 24, 2016 8:40 AM

I built this about 3 months ago, but when getting to the last stage, the windscreen I found it badly distorted and on warming it to correct it, it broke into 3 pieces. So I've had to wait until today when the new screen came from Revell.de to finish the build.

I've added seatbelts, scratchbuilt a half rollcage, painted the shell and engine bay with a mixture of gloss yellow and matt green. The decals are from the spares box. I also added the front splitter and a tuner style bootlid mounted rear wing

The doors click into the open position and shut quite well, the drivers side better than the other.

Well mississippivol, they have plenty of power so, although we've not seen one yet it's still a possibility!

Nicely done and the concept is very cool!  I love the Hello Kitty decal!

You're just saying she's a pu*sy cat in the right hands......

 

Nice job, especially the wing structure.
