cartpix Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Second for the year. It fought me tooth & nail but I'm calling it done. It's built out of the box. The color is Testors Mythical Maroon. It's not my best work but it's not my worst. Here's a pic of the interior & engine since you can't see them very well, once it's together.
DonW Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Nasty! I love the paint, and the straight through exhausts with Cherry Bombs!
Chuckyg1 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Nice & clean, love it. Is it O.O.B? I was thinking of using this color on an upcoming project, seeing it on your Merc has convinced me.

It shot out of the tweezers, last night. I looked all over for it but it was gone. I started a new project, today, & found it, right in the middle of my work bench. It was NOT there, last night!!!! It is a nice color. It's very warm, even over grey primer. Watch your coats, too thick & it does bad things. I had to reshoot the hood & still got some wrinkles. I like Tamiya lacquers better.
cartpix Posted March 6, 2020 Author Posted March 6, 2020 Thanks everyone, for the praises. I need it, after that build. LOL
High octane Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Great job on that Merc build Jeff, and hopefully your next build will go smoother for you. Yes Tamiya lacquers do seem to spray on better than Testors lacquers.
Modlbldr Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Very nice work! It looks great! I did a 40 Ford Sedan as a two tone using that color. It looks amazing with a cream color accent. I like Tamiya much better too, but I just bought a can last night. $9.26!!!! Last can I'll buy unless I have to. It may have fought you, but it looks like you overcame it.

espo Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Great looking build. The shinny paint and the Maroon color and trim this really looks the '50's Kustom.
