    Off to a great start John. I personally think the gloss black with chrome hubs option would look better myself. Using a second blade as a stop to keep from damaging the locator nub was a good idea, I will have to use that myself. I remember a episode of Top Gear were they briefly touched on this car when Mercedes came out with a 6 wheel drive car saying it was their first and the guys wondered why they didn't mention that this was really their first 6 wheel drive.

      Thank you Floki! It's looking so far black is the call. Oh, right because this G$ was 6x4. I didn't even realize they made a 6x6. Cheers and have a nice weekend.

    Hi John, very nice progress on your G4. I would vote for the gloss black wheels myself. The suspension looks really rugged for a car, this thing must been a ruff ride. I will be watching for the next episode. Have a great day. Jeff

    I would like to say that I'm loving the channel you do some awesome work my friend and this particular subject has always been a fascination to me something about a six-wheeled luxury car also the history behind it..and I'm leaning towards the gloss black!

      That means so much, thank you mate! Glad you're enjoying and it's a very interesting car. So far, it's overwhelmingly gloss black on the wheels! Have a good weekend.

    It's very nice unboxing review. This kit is very famous and popular in Japan too. Unfortunately, it's not distributed enoughly, so many modelers will want to know the contents. Have a nice week end and stay safe carefully my friend. Best wishes, NOB

    I am an Italian model maker John, congratulations for the mercedes G4 icm it is very beautiful. I wanted to ask you a question: is this model for expert modelers or can intermediate modelers build it? Are the plastics weak and break or are they sturdy? Thanks Conrad

    • @johnalecsscalemodeling
      @johnalecsscalemodeling  Год назад +1

      Hiya Conrad and thanks for stopping in. Intermediate yes, this was the first car I had done in 30 years. It's challenging no doubt, you need to make sure the chassis frame is square and level it has a lot of cross-members and the rear suspension axles. If I was to do this one again, I'd go with the 1/24th scale offering. Cheers!

    You have installed the exhaust manifold upside down 6:21 that's why the inlet doesn't fit where it should.

      Thanks yep I figured that out eventually and fixed. Good catch, thanks for watching.
