Bastardo Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Just to make it short: A 1949 Merc by Revell opened, modified, slammed, hiperventilated and weathered by me I know I have the turbo setup all wrong, but by the time I figured it out t was already too late... So it is what it is... The process of modifying can be seen on this link: http://www.makete.ne...php?f=4&t=20230 It's in Slovene so feel free to ask pretty much anything Here are a few shots of Lucy: Spit it out...

Dr. Cranky Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Wow, I love the Merc, which looks totally different from any other Merc I've seen before, not to mention the suicide doors are a great detail. And then the TZH build I think is fabulous. Have you posted it over to here? http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=52127 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Wow, what a fabulous thread to that build. Thanks for sharing it with us here. Best, DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torinobradley Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Looks flippin cool. I love anything with kill marks/stickers... As for the turbo setup, all you have to do is explain the motor is one of the rare reverse-flow-heads exhaust carberation high-effeciency updraft motors...
