Tommy124 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Hi folks, I finished the Eliminator yesterday. It was a bit of a fight, especially as far as the body color is concerned. I learnt that yellow is one tough color to get a good result in. Here come the images, hope you like it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Nice looking build. You did a great job on it. I always liked this car. Meant to build the kit a few times over the years. I saw one on a used car lot in Utah in '87. It was also yellow. Wanted to buy it very badly but, me being 18 years old at the time, I didn't have the money they were asking and it probably wouldn't have lasted long. Instead, I bought a yellow 81 Datsun pickup.

vamach1 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Very nice kitty. The engine is also great for doing a 1/25 Mustang Boss 302. Edited June 17, 2019 by vamach1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Beautiful looking Mercury. Not a 1:1 model often seen and even less so in scale. I had a friend who had an XR7 Cougar with the 390 and auto. trans. They were great riding cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledsel Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Looks great!!! Yes, yellow is a bear to paint. I have found that a white primer or flat white base lightly scuffed helps me painting yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
