Monogram 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K

Got this kit with a box of stuff. Missing dash so I made one for it. Not the best. Had a hard time with the tiny stuff because of Raynaud’s. So it’s not really clean. It is what it is. Lol

Beautiful build!

[Yeah Nah]

Gorgeous Merc!

I recently did the Monogram 1936 540K Coupe. Went together like magic- sometimes we need a reminder of how well engineered these old Monograms were.

Whatchoo talkin' bout Willis?! That paint is flawless!  Is that the Lindberg kit?

Thank you Fantom, Garry, Dan, Jeff, James, Larry, Jeremy. and Don. Jeff and Don. That's the color of the plastic. With a coat of Pledge Revive It on it! Makes colored plastics pop if its good colored plastic.  And if you brush it over everything after you're done. It helps keep the itty bitty parts stay on afterwards. And if you don't like it. Just wash it off. As good as a regular clear coat. No. But it's still not bad. Now I don't think it will fit in my wall display as it looks too long.

It fits!

Super nice job David!?? I have one of these, but the hood didn’t fit nicely, and I warped the heck out of it trying to fix it.? yours makes me want to dig it out again.

Thank you Greg. Mine fits ok. Those 2 hood pieces that are under the exhaust headers were difficult for sure.

Looks great to me, very well done, I would never have guessed you hadn't painted it.

Just beautiful to my eyes!

I'd say everything worked out for ya on this one that came along with the box of stuff.  Looks pretty nice through my eyes.

Thank you David, Craig, EMRE and Bob. I have a Monogram Boat Tail Packard to tackle some time in the future.
