papajohn97 Posted November 28, 2022 Posted November 28, 2022 Very very nice job on this Merc Bob. The paint, the brightwork, the fact that you were able to get the trunk to operate and look good closed (something I failed at on my recent build). This color also really suites this car and really makes the chrome, brightwork and wide whites pop. Even when built as a totally stock, these '49 Mercs look like a mildly customized car from my late 50's- early '60's childhood. Totally love what you've achieved with this old AMT kit. A+ dude!

I really do appreciate all the kind words man. Thanks.
AMT68 Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 You definitely knocked that one out of the park Bob. That's a very attractive color I haven't seen before. Great job.

XYHARRY Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 Your Merc looks great Bob. I followed your wip and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the tip on using the eraser to stamp the raised body detail. Cheers, David. ??
