espo Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Beautiful looking paint and trim. I like the Day Two look and the Dish Slots put it in the late 60's or early 70's.

bisc63 Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Love that body style, and your color and wheel choices suit it perfectly. Nice model, well done!
Phirewriter Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) That came out nice! Really like the color and the wheels. I like the '62 Mercury styling better than the Galaxies and have a couple of 99% complete clean built ups that I've been wanting to do something like this to. Of course they are missing the taillight assemblies and fender ornaments. I'm on the fence about casting the one's from my mint kit, still has the factory tape on the box and 1962 air inside, never been opened. If I can't locate replacements that may change. Oh to have Modelhaus back... Edited July 2, 2021 by Phirewriter
Andrew D the Jolly Roger Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Amazing to think they really used to build cars like this; very nicely done!
