1951 Mercury Convertible

[carsntrucks4you]

The '50 - '51 Mercury dashboard from Replicas Miniatures of Maryland looks to good to hide it in a coupe. Therefore I cut of the roof of Revell's 49 Mercury. But that not all I made a mold of the rear fenders of a 1/25 Hendrix Mercury Coupe and add them to the Revell body

The taillights will be from a '54 Lincoln

The new bumper is based on a bumper from the Hendrix '51 Mercury Coupe

Sweet!

My '51 Mercury convertible is nearly finished. I had applied the final clear coat. The interior is now finished. Some items like front indicator and the rear bumper are missing. I had made a new one because the chrome on the first one was everything but not chrome.

I'm a bit disappointed on the chrome of the Buick grille from Modelhaus. It isn't that good as expected.
