BeakDoc Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Built from the Revell kit. I wanted to try my hand at ghost flames. While they’re not perfect, I’m pretty doggone happy with them and if I do them again I know better what to do and not do. Using enamels in December and January was an exercise in patience. (Although, waiting for paint to gas out between steps afforded me time to build 3 boxes of garage equipment for a diorama.) All the paints on the body are Testors enamels. Candy Red over metallic copper and Inca gold with some silver and dark red for effect. I omitted the chrome trim around the windshield. The rest of the window trim is BMF. The wheels and whitewalls are Pegasus DeSoto crossbars to go with the DeSoto grill. I also used the Stromberg 97 intake setup on the Caddy mill from a Revell Parts Pak. Thanks for looking. As always, comments, questions and pointers are welcome.
espo Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I also like the Flames and the paint work also. Nice interior details. I haven't seen anyone use the Royal Lancer Hub Caps for a while, very keeping with the them of the build.
Phildaupho Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I really like your interior and engine enhancement. Great job on first attempt at Ghost Flames - something I would be reluctant to try.
Hmann68 Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Beautiful Merc! The flames look great to me! Every time I see one of these nicely done it makes me wanna pick one up ?
shoopdog Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Looks fantastic! Your interior and the paint work is exceptional in my eyes.
Koellefornia Kid Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 That is one sweet Merc! Like the engine set up!
