1965 Mercury Comet A/FX

[Speedpro]

Here is a build I just completed of a 1965 Mercury Comet A/fX. This is built out of the box with plug wires being the only addition. It's painted with tamiya paints and some alclad on the front bumper, engine and headers. BMF was used for exterior trim. This is what I call a tune up build. Keeps my skills honed while working on long term builds.

 

For a Quick build, It was fun and a challenge at times. Thanks for looking.

Nice clean build

Shows the power of a good clean build. This is visually captivating to me, and that's no mean feat for a white car model! Beautiful red interior, sharp chrome and foil work, and sano engine and bay make this one shine! Well done, sir.

Refrigerator White over Lipstick Red what better combination for a Sunday Stripper!?.  Dressed to the 9's and turning in the low one hundreds in under thirteen seconds in the quarter mile! You build paints that visual with smokin' rear tires & one front tire lifting off the tarmac at the green light launch. Killer from every angle, Brother! -KK

Michael, It will test you patients at times, but as you can see, it is worth the it.

Thanks Brian, I spent more time than probably needed on them. Between the cleanup, fitting, priming, application of the alclad polished stainless and getting them installed without ruining the alclad finish, I can say it was worth it. Thanks for looking.
