Scalefinishes Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 It's the Revell 49 Mercury custom. I've had the kit for a few years now, and finally got a start on it. The car is going to be built mostly box stock. I did remove the drip rail, and plan on using different wheels. Here is what has been done so far: Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Thank you for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalefinishes Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Thanks guys, I got the motor pretty much built, I'm just waiting for the paint on the detail parts to dry. The engine and trans are Chevy Coronado gold. The exhaust, fan, and pulleys are pure white. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interior is Ferrari Rosso red with a black carpet. The firewall has the "heat shield" in place. Hosted on Fotki The engine is ready to run. Hosted on Fotki The wheels are the kit chrome steels Dechromed and painted Peterbilt flame red Metallic. The tires have the whitewall painted on them. Hosted on Fotki Thanks for looking.

Scalefinishes Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 It's coming together, and looking great. I got the chassis done. The exhaust needs tips, but they will be added after the body is mounted. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki The interior is done. The dash and steering wheel are painted in the same Peterbilt red as the wheels. The pin striping is another decal from the kit. Hosted on Fotki The body needs a few more things, but will be done this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalefinishes Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 The Ferrari red is from Scalefinishes.com (my website) It's an interior color. I didn't realize that I hadn't posted the body color. It's Nissan LAC Ultimate Black Opal, it's used on the GT-R SpecV. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Jameston- That is looking great. I like the decal work with the pinstripes. Have you managed to get some paint in spray cans yet? I did get an airbrush given to me recently but I don't have a hose for it yet. How can I get a list of your paints available? Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raydee Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 NICE Merc, The paint looks like a pearl black! Look forward to more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalefinishes Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Thank you for all the responses, I just got this car finished and posted in the under glass section. I did not get any spraycans that deal fell through, and the only place I can get the cans from are very expensive. There is a whitewall tutorial in the tips and tricks section. Thanks again.
