cobraman Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 This was my second 49 Merc after the yellow one you may remember. This one had more work done to it, I relocated the headlight and the taillights. I made tubes for the twin sunken antenna's which were made from stretched sprue. I used aluminum tibing to make some intakes instead of using the 3 small air cleaners. The car was painted with Testors White Lightning. Comments are as always welcome weither good or bad. Thanks for looking. And yes that is a crackle kind of paint job on the hood.
Ryan S. Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 You've done some cool stuff to this one. The filled head lights and the relocation to the grill area is something I don't think I've seen done on a Merc, and I have to say I kind of like it! I'm really digging the flames on the fender skirts too. Nice touch!
cobraman Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 Thanks for the kind words guys. This really is a nice kit and a pleasure to build.
