hacken: haha. yea. As soon as I applied the stripes, I was amazed how much different it looks!

lkwanz: Was planning to use the silver on red but then, decided would look better on black. hehe. The rear FERRARI is photo-etch. I got it from Marcus last time.

aquila: yea. One of the best but because CMC, apart from the Mclaren SLR, only does classic cars. That's why seldom see CMC models here.

geeamino: Nice G1M 599!

so no one got any answer?

dont care from which maker, though so far only found bburago/franklin mint does this model

Sorry, I'm still new in this and I've only seen the minichamps version on their online catalouge.

oh sorry, forgot to mention minichamps too. though those are a bit expensive, and im not liking their red interior. need to repaint both exterior metal cast and the red interiors

Quazacolt: Since im not into classics, as far as i know only minichamps got the most nice build quality of all brands that make 300SL. (I THINK). You can wait for Sky to reply you on this, since he is a merc enthusiast. But since you think minichamps are pricey to you, just get the bburago one. I thought most of the classic collectors like their models to be super detailed?

actually to be honest, thats what id prefer too, and the pricing differences isnt that huge. the biggest problem is that i want my model interior to be in white/biege/grey at least, and minichamps are having them red

Quazacolt: But some of the silver car with red interior looks so nice. like the F599 and all sorts of merc. =)

yeah i admit they do look nice, however it is in contrast to my requirement, so i have to repaint it if thats the case ^^;

Quazacolt: too bad i cnt answer your question because so far i dun see any 1/18 SL300 gullwing silver with other color interior othn thn red...unless u are willing to get 1/24 silver Sl300 which will come across your requirement ( My Webpage )....anyway,minichamps SL300 gullwing silver color is very rare and pricey now

NIce gTO~~ nice color~!!!

thanks for the reply. i think there are new minichamps preorder releasing on feb 2012 for the model im looking for, however, its at 120ish USD excluding shipping >_<

the details are indeed nice, however if i were to repaint the interior to white, ill need to do a LOT of touching up on the fine details as well, which is too much hassle for me, as opposed to say, buying a burago at much cheaper, and just respray the outer metal cast.

more room to f***up, and a lot lesser damage assuming you mess up the repainting process ^^;

Quazacolt: disassembling and repainting a diecast is not as easy as u think...

i just fixed the ferrari decal to a new 1~~ New decal is truely nice~! better than original decal.

yes exactly, hence if possible, i dont want to touch the interior at all, which means the white/grey ish interior from the burago 1/18 would be the most ideal. and less painful if i mess the whole thing up

wk: where u bought those decals?

quazacolt: Even if you get the beige/tan/grey interior SL, you would still repaint the exterior?

wkwebsite: Those photo-etch looks really nice. comes in all sizes as well. do share where you get it from! lol

yeah thinking of white since the burago one is in red instead

i got it USD10.8 with shipping. just to fix the broken decal. The rest i can give out coz i already fixed mine.
