Merkur XR4Ti Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 This is a rebuild of a glue bomb I scored off that auction site. I rebuilt and painted it to match a vintage ad for the car I found online. I am starting to really enjoy building these full-sized land yachts. They look so impressive when done. Apologies for the picture quality, I just took a couple of snaps with my ancient iPhone.
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Love it! But then again, I may be a little bias. I owned a red 1:1 in high school. I have the kit to build in the future as well, actually 2 of them! Nice work!! Steve
Ron Hamilton Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Man that looks familiar!!!! I like the vinyl roof!!!!
disabled modeler Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Just beautiful guys...! I have an old promo to restore of one soon as i can find the parts and restore it...mine has broken front glass post,glass,bumpers and is missing a taillight lens. The big cars of the 60s/70s were very sharp cars.

The big cars of the 60s/70s were very sharp cars.I have an extra taillight lens if you need it. Thanks for the compliments, all. It took a while to get this one done as I kept getting distracted by life stuff, but I'm quite happy with the finished product. I've just started putting the vinyl roofs on cars that often had them, which is a new modeling technique for me, and I must say it's very satisfying when it turns out alright.
High octane Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Nice job on restoring that "land yacht" and great color choice as well. I just love dem Mopars! I'm not a big fan of phone cameras and still rely on just a camera to take my pictures.
Sixties Sam Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Great looking old Mopar yacht! Nice save!Sam

I could use anything towards restoring it...I just cant let the old things die off I am driven to restore all of them I find if possible. I really like the vinyl top treatment looks great..! Mine got crushed a bit during a tornado we had here awhile back with many others...was a huge bummer. What do you need for them...?
