Steve_L Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 This is my latest 1949 Mercury custom, constructed from the Revell 1949 Custom Mercury kit and a custom resin body from ModelHaus. I like the ModelHaus body because the roof has a more pleasing appearance than the Revell kit and it also has custom side trim and revised fender lines. I lowered it to the max and added a Chevy small block engine. Just to be different, I used the Kelsey Hays wire wheels and wide white wall tires from the AMT 1957 Thunderbird kit. I also adapted 1955 Chevy parking lights for the taillights. The finish is Duplicolor white sandable primer, Duplicolor Ford Sonic Blue Pearl color and heavily polished Rustoleum clear.

Harry P. Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Very smooth and clean.I suggest a black wash on the wire wheels to bring out the detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
