The 49 Mercury Thread (Because if you haven't built one yet, you should!)

[Bullybeef]

Finally finished my ‘49 Revell Merc today, only deviation from box stock was the addition of a Mercury FE V8. I’ll echo a lot of the past statements, this is a great kit to build.

A very tidy build, love the frosty green!

Thanks for posting it.

@Michael F Ah, so you are. I stand corrected.

If this is the worst mistake I make this year, I'll be doing great!

Built this one some years ago...

Never liked the rounded back end so started adding plastic and bondo until....

That's quite a cool looking mashup @thatz4u. I really like the Mustang grille piece you added, nice touch.

I'm just curious, what engine is that?

@Belugawrx You have a really good eye for design, those fenders with the tail lights really give it the visual zoom! 

Excellent custom work!

Thank you both for taking the time to share these with us.
