Love these gullwing merc's. Looks like this kit goes together quite well. (Tamiya kits are usually very well engineered.) Looks like I'll have to save up and try to get me one of these.
Some how I missed this. Amazing work you're doing on this model. I too struggle to get any bench time, so I understand your frustration. Just keep at it when you can, I am sure that you are going to do an outstanding job on this.
Not to butt in Ron, maybe you could reduce the size of the image and reach a compromise. (Just a suggestion.) The Chevy looks amazing, as do all your builds that you post. Love your work!
