Andrew McD Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) My version of the Revell '49 Mercury custom. Createx pearl green clear coated with Rust-Oleum Painters Touch 2x Gloss Clear. Tamiya buff and flat white interior. Initially I thought I might go with the full custom skirts and lake pipes but I decided I really like the look of the wheels/tires and opted for a milder custom look. The build is strictly OOB. Everything fit very nicely and there were no issues that I didn't bring upon myself. Perhaps someday, way down the road when my skills progress beyond kit assembly, I'll have a go at actually chopping a top.😜 On completing final assembly I concluded that I should have painted the package shelf buff instead of white. Here are some iPhone photos from the workbench. Wow.....weird how you can work on a model for so long and never notice that some of the parting lines you thought were well taken care of still show up when the model is photographed. .......and I should have dusted prior to photography😡 Edited July 7, 2023 by Andrew McD Forgot to include the photos! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
