The Mercedes 300 SL build is all messed up. Eaglemoss is sending me future issues, phases out of order, etc. Still, I was able to complete Phases 52-55 and make a little bit of forward progress.

300 SL Update
I haven’t seen any Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing parts for about five months. But, in the last 11 days, I have seen two shipping notifications for more packs. Unfortunately, it looks like they are still missing Phases 52-59 and 61 as they skipped them and shipped Phases 51, 60, and 62-67. Seems like they are not able to get their hands on the main body parts…
300 SL Phase 51
The shipping for this Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing is all out of whack and I am receiving the parts out of order. Unfortunately, this means I was only able to build Phase 51 where we install the Control Circuit Board.

Our Mercedes 300 SL build is on hold again, awaiting Phases 51 and on.
