Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition.
Scale 1/24
TAMIYA Item # 24317
A car.....this will be my next build and challenge. Yes, a challenge....
Paint a clean, shiny and polished model is, certainly, some kind of modelling out of my comfort zone
Once opened the box, the kit looks fine. Well....in fact, I suppose it! Is my first sport car ....
When I observe the other member builds, I’m always looking for the brakes!! If the modeller did the holes on the brakes, that means he/she is building a detailed model. :P
So the first thing I did was looking for the brakes discs. What...?! No holes marked....?! 10 points less for Tamiya I thought.... But then, after a fast read, I realized the brake discs are ceramic made!! Oppss
The sprues set
The chassis is metal made. His weight is bigger than all the sprues together!!
The decal sheet and other stuff needed.
The rubber tyres.
The black sprues are for the chassis and inner parts.
Silver ones for the body.
The carbon fiber front spoiler.... (the kit hasn’t any carbon fiber decal sheet....)
The crystal items.
The chromed items.
The instruction book is,as always, the habitual Tamiya one.
The idea is build it out of box. For me, the challenge and the major work is the paint job.
I will paint it on this light metal colour.
Ok!! I have a car....some paints and a wish to start it!! But first I need to clean the workbench
Thanks for looking! And for any future help!!
