bigzm125 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Hello modeling friends! This is is the Revell Mercury kit that's pretty amazing. From the building options to the excellent easy fitting parts. I built this kit as a gift for my brother who is an Auburn University graduate. Here is a list of the things I added or changed to the model. A lot of the ideas I got for the car came from all you guys wonderful builds. Hope there's no hard feelings!! -blended the front bumper -cut the B pilar out -smoothed the fire wall and molded in wires -wired the spark plug wires, battery, colant overflow, alternator, oil filter, and fuel lines. -upgraded to a 12v system with a new battery and alternator with custom bracket -added the clear steering wheel, metal springs up front, air cleaner and resin valve covers -paint and clear are duplicolor auto lacquer Thanks for looking and model on!!!

cobraman Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Love the car but just not sure the grill works IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 That is very nicely done. I like it alot. The white grill is unusual but works very well I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigzm125 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Really appreciate the great feedback! Yea went out one a limb with the white grill. Didn't really like how the chrome one looked in there with there being hardly any chrome on the rest of the car. So I looked at the tires and thought, white.

Hubert Rollins Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 That's a real nice build... and congrats to your brother on his college education. But I do have to add a big "Roll Tide" in closing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Lacy Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Fantastic color choice, it totally suites the car. The two tone interior compliments the exterior nicely, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
