RDean58 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I was going to wait a bit before I started this but, the urge was too strong!. Here it is with the beginning coats of Tamiya TS-19 Metallic Blue. Engine is almost done. And the stock wheel covers are done. Now, believe it or not, I also scored a 65 Merc with the custom pieces on it. My plan is to redo the custom with the newer custom pieces from the kit I just got. Here are some pics the seller posted on evil bay. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDean58 Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 I also won a 65 Lincoln hardtop that I'll be building as a companion piece to this Mercury. Stay tuned for pictures of that one when I get it. You all stay safe and thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDean58 Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Basic interior color shot, this is Testors Nassau blue metallic from their auto lacquer line. Final color coats of Tamiya TS-19 Metallic blue Mockup to see if the colors work together :-) What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Macleod Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Another great 60's Ford product! I really liked these as a kid...still do. I always thought a Breezeway would be a great model to build too. I digress, your model looks great so far. This will be another I will enjoy following.

Was this your intent or is it just the way the light hits the body ? I have used that shade of Blue on builds in the past and with the metallic in the paint the different surfaces reflect so differently.

RDean58 Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Got some interior detailing done. I used the wood grain decals from the 65 Lincoln convertible to cut out the side panels. I will go around it with a Molotow pen once the decals are dry. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
