Fujimi 1/24 Goodsmile Racing Mercedes SLS AMG - 2015

Post by aracefan »

Having finished up the Fujimi GSR BMW Z4, I started the Tamiya Jagermeister Alfa Romeo 155 DTM - but I had ordered a PE/Detail up set for it and it's taking forever to come in (thanks again Covid!). In the meantime, I decided to start the other GSR kit I had...

Have a decent start to this one as they are pretty simple kits.
I'm currently in the decal process, and will say that this kit's decals are completely different to the BMW Z4 kit decals.
These are like trying to put a cobweb on the car, the Z4 decals were thick as wallpaper! These decals tear sliding them off the transfer paper!! :evil:
If you want to build the Mercedes GSR model, I would suggest buying the Tamiya kit and the Goodsmile aftermarket decals.
These kits are kind of expensive now and the fit, while not bad, they are not Tamiya quality.

Anyway, here's some progress pics - and hope to have the kit done by the weekend. :)

New primer, I like it.

Thanks for looking in, and have a great day!
