1955 300SL 1/32 SCCA A/P or Bonneville SCTA A/P

[Chris K. Hale]

One of the Themes for the May 7 SO CAL NNL is Bonneville cars so I build this Lindberg 1/32 1955 300sl as a kind of dual pupose car, SCCA Road Race A/P or SCTA Bonneville A/P it is a curbside but I found a bunch of photo etch and other detail parts in the parts box that were the right size, I originally painted it with Tamiya AS-12 Bare Metal from their aircraft series, my fav silver but those darn cat hairs caused me to sand it out and re-paint it TS-30 Silver Leaf with no clear since that tends to dull it out.. lots of little details I like the result. It really was a side project as I work on 2 other cars for the show... Chris
