This Roadster which appears to be the same color was at the Mercedes Classic Center in 2010, you could call and ask them what the exact color is on that '54 Gullwing. 042710 Mercedes-Benz Classic Center 060 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 042710 Mercedes-Benz Classic Center 061 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 042710 Mercedes-Benz Classic Center 062 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 042710 Mercedes-Benz Classic Center 063 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 042710 Mercedes-Benz Classic Center 064 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr ...a little more info in this pic... 042710 Mercedes-Benz Classic Center 185 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr

Looking Good - here's some reference pics for you - too bad there's no easy way to remove the door trim on these kits! 120912 Legends of the Highway 023 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 120912 Legends of the Highway 024 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 120912 Legends of the Highway 025 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 120912 Legends of the Highway 026 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 120912 Legends of the Highway 027 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 120912 Legends of the Highway 028 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 120912 Legends of the Highway 029 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 120912 Legends of the Highway 032 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr

You might enjoy this one I saw at a show in Utah last fall... 091512 Thanksgiving Point Swap Meet 056 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 091512 Thanksgiving Point Swap Meet 057 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 091512 Thanksgiving Point Swap Meet 058 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 091512 Thanksgiving Point Swap Meet 059 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 091512 Thanksgiving Point Swap Meet 060 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 091512 Thanksgiving Point Swap Meet 062 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr 091512 Thanksgiving Point Swap Meet 063 by SoCalCarCulture, on Flickr

Unless I missed it somewhere in this thread, no one mentioned the side moulding on the doors. If you are replicating a CHP Mustang for example, that trim needs to be removed. Why didn't Revell make this a separate piece? Here's a pic of how the door should look with the trim removed... ...same on the Nevada car...

Thanks, that would be correct without the seam down the middle - just holler if you need Woodie reference pics.

Hopefully you corrected the seam down the middle of the top on the '40 Woodie!

Why would it? Deceptive advertising is a big deal in today's market, once the DA sends the complaint on to the manufacturer they can respond, correct the problem or it moves to the next level. In cases like this it involves product crossing state lines and has more weight. Until you take the manufacturer to task they will keep repeating their mistakes, I don't believe fraud is involved just some poor marketing/production mistakes. The current Revell '50 Olds produced without the wide whitewalls advertised on the box is a prime example, sure Revell will send you the tires they should have provided IF you know about that program. The point is they should have had to pull the product and have an advertising campaign to inform the injured parties. The laws are there to protect consumers from abuse, use them or lose those rights.

Funny that everyone complains but have any of you taken the next step? Remember the kid that complained during a price freeze that Testors raised the price on the bottles of paint? The best thing to do is file a complaint with your local District Attorney, they will then investigate - here's a link to the forms in Orange County and yes it works.
