'49 Merc

[Andy Wyatt]

I know...2008 was the year for posting '49 Mercs. Don't let anyone tell you I'm on time for anything.

Revell '49 Merc built pretty much right out of the box. Paint is HOK Pink Pearl over white primer. Duplicolor acrylic lacquer clear.

I didn't really wasnt to use the "ribbed for her pleasure" bumpers but the other ones were not plated very well and I didn't have anything in my stash that I could use...but now that they are on I don't think they look too bad.

Some engine detailing added...a quickie build to have something for the March CPMCC meeting. The left wiper has been fixed by the way. Thanks for looking!

That is a wild color. Beautiful paint.

Actually, '09 is the 60th anniversary of the '49 Merc,,,,,,so you're right on time!

Wow Andy, that is bright! Another fine build with plenty of engine bay detailing.

The engine compartment looks great! Mike Garret an I were just talking about this at our last club meeting. Sometimes folks just go over the top with the detailing and end up makin it TOO busy. Yours has just enough, it looks GREAT!
