Just finished this one. The paint is Duplicolor, no clear just polished color, interior is Citadel Wraithbone and a mixed color for the darker tan. Whitewalls are hand-painted.

Great looking Mercury. Very well done. I tried building this kit, but after multiple paint disasters, I just put it back in the box.

Great Build! We forget now just how shiny cars really were 70-80 years ago. They were shiny of course, but nothing like the miles deep gloss we see to day.

Your Factory stock paint job looks perfect! I like that shade of Blue too. Nice Detail on the interior.

 

 

Good Show.

Fabulous job on this "rarely built stock" classic. I'm particularly impressed with the work you did on the interior tub re-build/ door panels/ window cranks. Too bad it's a hard top and not a convertible!

It's amazing how good some of these old tooled AMT kits are. The molds for this Merc were built in 1963, the equally excellent AMT shoebox '49 Ford molds  were made in 1962. Makes one wonder how many products are manufactured for +60 years off of the original tooling!
