MERCEDES-AMG GT356 Airfi x Model Worldthe interior decal upgrades were
completed, they received 62.062
Premium Matt Varnish, which
protected the parts and helped
to mute the overall finish.
Next, several items from Hobby
Design’s upgrade set were fitted
to the cockpit interior; Pacer
Formula’s 560 Canopy Glue
(PVA) was employed to secure
the PE AMG logos on the door
cards. A complete PE driver’s
protection net was included,
but instead this was used as
a template for a scratch-built
version, fashioned from strips of
Tuner Model Factory T2M-2011-B1
Adhesive Seat Belt Cloth (Black),
as this appeared more realistic.
Logos were added from T2M-
6001 1/24 Harness Manufacture
Decals & Stickers. Hobby Design’s
upgrade included all the PE seat
hardware, and this was married
to the self-adhesive black cloth.“They’re gonna rip it off”

received ST27 carbon fibre
decal enhancement, although
the multi-part vanes on the
ventral rear diffuser took several
sessions to apply, due to their
complexity. Note, the kit’s
styrene vanes were retained,
rather than being replaced with
PE, as they were acceptable
in this scale. Contrast with the
main body’s sheen was created
by airbrushing the floor pan
with 62.062 Premium Matt
Varnish, which also imparted a
convincing finish.

While the kit’s grey hues gave the car an aggressive appearance, the console
game-inspired Battlefield 1 livery came courtesy of Slotfabrik’s beautifully printed
SF-D24-001 1/24 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Battlefield 1 Spa-2017 #84 Decals. Adding the interior to the floor pan was simple, after which the rear suspension
(including aftermarket PE upgrades for the brakes) was attached.
The front brake units also received Hobby Design embellishments and, combined with
clever use of washes, appeared most convincing.
