49 Mercury Woodie

[Porscheman]

I just couldn't wait for Revells new Woodie, so I dug up a Resin convertion body I bought years ago and an unbuilt AMT 49 Mercury to come up with this one. Paint was Tamiya's Mica Red over flat black primer and polished using Macguires #5 new car glaze. All the wood was hand painted and 66 straight pin heads were cut and the body was drill to mount the rivets, replacing the molding in ones.

Let me know what you think.

Great job Al. The pin heads are a great idea... bet it took you awhile to drill all those holes..!!

Very nice. Before I read the description, I looked at the pics and wondered "Where'd he get one of these already?" Thought about the old Mod Squad deal. This one came out very convincing.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. The trans-kit fit the AMT chassis perfectly. This was a fun build, even the pin heads were fun. LOL
