How do you keep the varnish off the windows? Or do you use a varnish that doesn't cloud the transparencies?

Wonderful work Kacper. Something similar happens to me, I start at full speed and then it is hard to get to the end. This is why I am not convinced by the super-detailed models, I think I would never finish one.

Moreover, it doesn't cloud the transparencies at all. It's an acrylic wood varnish(for the wooden elements, fences, furniture, etc.). I use the one in the attachment but I don't think it's available in the United States. However, I'm sure you can find something similar. And by the way, later today there will be a WIP update.

Thanks. It appears to be a lacquer rather than acrylic. Is that correct?

Anyway, I did a quick look into a US market and here's probably the closest thing to the one that I use. I'd recommend something like this:

And here's the promised update.
The underside and wheels are finished. Just like Sergio, I'm not really a fan of those super-detailed models because probably I'd never finish them too. That's why the underside here is extremely simplified. Personally, I think it's really unnecessary to put a huge amount of work into something that is rarely seen or never seen at all. Anyway, the project is almost completed and so far I'm really satisfied with the results. I hope it will be a nice model.

This is really coming out beautifully. Will you be adding authentic license plates as in the first two pictures in this thread? How about fender flags? They would add an eye catching spot of color, and would firmly establish this as Hitler's "ride" rather than just a generic luxury Mercedes Benz.

The only thing I have to say, very sadly is that you won't make this model available. You justy can't imagine how much I would like to have this model in my collection. Hope you change your mind. I'm sure there are thousands of modelers who want to build this model. Congratulations.

Your build looks better and better each time I check your progress. Great job.

I agree with you that thousands of modelers would love to get this model and I really can imagine what you feel. Before I started this project I was exactly in your place. I've always wanted to have the Hitler's W150 in my collection and as there were no paper models of it I just had to do it on my own. Build it from scratch. I'm glad to hear you like my work but all I can promise is the good set of final photos. Quote:
The photo of the mentioned Hitler's 770K(W150) is in the attachment.
