2017 Mercedes AMG W08 // Lewis Hamilton // Monopost 1/20

Post by SebLeung »

Finally - it's done! Started in late January of this year, and I stepped away from it for about 6 months, so it took about 3 - 4 months total to complete. This was my first multimedia kit and certainly won't be my last. I feel like after having managed to complete this, I can complete any MM kit. The kit is sold as a British GP configuration, but I've built it as a Belgian GP spec. That just means purple ultra-soft tires, and for whatever reason Mercedes ran with the triple pitot tube for quali and race, where they normally only run it for practice. I also placed FIA inspection stickers all over the body corresponding to the Belgian GP as well.

****WIP THREAD****

Kit: Monopost (Studio27) 1/20 Mercedes AMG W08 British GP
Paints: Zero Paints Mercedes Petronas F1 Silver, Zero Paints 2K Gloss Clear
Decals: Kit decals, Scale Motorsports CF, Studio27 Pirelli Decals
Extras: Tamiya SF70H Pirelli Tires

And here are my two 2017 season cars responsible for a legendary season between Hamilton and Vettel. In my opinion the two most attractive cars of the past decade:

Hi SebLeung,

What a nice W08. It really looks great.

It is a pity that none of the hybrid Mercedes has been done in injection molded plastic kit.

Very nice, such a good job on a very complex and intricate subject. Must be hard to keep everything clean when you assemble all the aero add ons. You've made a fantastic job of it. Congratulations.
