Welcome DaSpeedinger, very nice job on the Merc. Did you paint it with a brush? It looks very good!

thank u brizio. yes - its brushed. normally i do motorcycles, there not airbrushing or spraying is not really an issue. so for the few cars i made i did not start doing so.

Love the chop  Looks so much neater than the Revell kit. Have you any build up shots of where you cut it please.

Many thanks, really great help  

Many on here have said they had to re-chop the Revell custom Mercury so I would rather start from a stock kit.

This is a very clean build. I am digging it. Very nice job.

 I like the show and I like your Merc, very nicely built.
