Mad Viking Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 This is my version of the Revell '49 Mercury. I Love this kit because of all the options & the excellent fitment. I always strive to get nice shiny paint jobs on my builds so I thought I'd try something new & go with flat black. I still couldn't resist the urge to BMF the windows. The paint is Walmart grey primer & flat black with Testor's Dullcoat on top to seal & dull out the decals. I had some various Slixx decals in my stash so I made this into a hotrod shop car. I wanted the flat exterior with a nice looking interior & engine. Thanks for looking.
maltsr Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Not my style, but a nice clean build nonetheless. The interior looks great. They're wonderful kits to build, aren't they?
Harry P. Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Pretty nicely done, but you would need hands the size of a gorilla's to make those shifts! Also... since you added graphics to the underside of the hood, you really should have dealt with those ejector pin marks.
slusher Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Nice and cool Merc. I really like the decals and the interior...
Janne Herajärvi Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Very nice... Makes me wanna build my Mercury.. I have unopened kit, but i have built one black with flames... Girl under hood makes nice touch, i did similar thing with my 59 Cadillac..
