Sixties Sam Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Yeah, another Revell 49 Merc. I love this kit - it just falls together, and everything fits! This one is an out of the box build with 60 T-Bird taillights, and painted flames added. I got the kit from Junior (Mercman) in a trade (thanks, Junior!). The flames were done with a flame mask by Lazy Modeller in Australia (got it off eBay). The mask worked great, even with spray can paint! Great product! Colors are Testors Mystic Emerald, with gloss white flames, and just a tiny bit of orange on the end of the flames. After applying the mask, I sprayed on a coat of clear, which prevented any white from running under the mask on door lines, etc. The interior is white and gold. It's not perfect, but I'm pleased with the look. It's shown here on my just completed downtown car show diorama. I enjoyed this build, and I hope you like it. Comments welcome.

cobraman Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 That turned out great ! I am working on the same car. You just can't have too many 49 Mercs in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
