The kit came with 2 round number stickers instead of decals. They were done well so I used them, bad idea. They were probably good for a nice flat surface but would not stay formed to any curved surface. Had to repaint the hood but got lucky with the body. Found some bigger better round numbers in the 1969 Corvair kit. Used some decal set and they snugged right in. Should complete this build today.

Hi Izzy Merit on bottom(great artwork) Smer on the top. Plus Smer had this Alfa Romeo, don't know if there is a Merit Alfa Romeo

I have 2 of these 1 Merit kit and 1 from Smer . This is the Smer kit . It's a multi piece body so there was some seam filling .The only thing I changed is is a slightly taller rear resin tire and how the rear axle sets in . Tamiya metallic blue paint. Pretty simple kit.

No almost everything in the kit was chrome over flashed parts. I de -chromed just about everything like complete motor and entire chassis , sanded them all smooth, primed and painted. I mixed a up some green and white with a dash of yellow for paint. I dont really stick to a game plan on these older kits?. Cut out some clear green plastic sheet for roof glass.

Its straight up on mine but sometimes I have to flip them upright on Fotki, because I take the pictures with a tablet and something goes a little wacky with the pic...I'll try again tomorrow thanks...plus my photography is just plain bad. -
