espo Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Beautiful looking paint and trim. I like the Day Two look and the Dish Slots put it in the late 60's or early 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Love that body style, and your color and wheel choices suit it perfectly. Nice model, well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phirewriter Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) That came out nice! Really like the color and the wheels. I like the '62 Mercury styling better than the Galaxies and have a couple of 99% complete clean built ups that I've been wanting to do something like this to. Of course they are missing the taillight assemblies and fender ornaments. I'm on the fence about casting the one's from my mint kit, still has the factory tape on the box and 1962 air inside, never been opened. If I can't locate replacements that may change. Oh to have Modelhaus back... Edited July 2, 2021 by Phirewriter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew D the Jolly Roger Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Amazing to think they really used to build cars like this; very nicely done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh to have Modelhaus back... thanks Michael, my vote is to build the car, as the 62 air is long gone from the kit unless it came vacuum sealed...
