### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Model

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very impressed
*by S***. on 12 September 2015*

A fantastically detailed rendition of this motoring icon. I just hope my build does it justice!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice looking model of an iconic design
*by T***N on 21 February 2016*

The iconic Gull-wing Mercedes 300SL my dream car when my lottery numbers come up, until then there is Tamiya's 1:24 kit. Some very small parts, lots of chrome and glass and metal decals make it a tricky but not difficult kit to do, I did have problems after painting the body with TS-17 as the glue I used didn't like it and wouldn't adhere. Some, but not all, chrome parts have offset gates which help to remove them from the sprue without damaging the plating. No flash but some mould lines to remove and a few unforgiving and quite deep ejector pin marks to fill especially on the underside of the bonnet and doors. It all went together well, you have to be quite forceful fitting the sub frame and interior into the body as you have to force the body apart, overall worth making and looks nice when finished I am pleased with my effort I've added a few pictures.
