Stock (!) 1949 Mercury, AMT

[peekay]

Thanks so much for all your comments.

Great color on this one too.

That's my own custom mix. I call it "Peter Green".

awsome i think i have the exact same kit in my stash ....hope to build it this winter

really awsome result and eventhough yours is stock for me it still looks soooo bad ass

[Evilbenny]

Great Job! Its nice to see a stock version. I was getting tired of seeing over the top custom sled's.

Maybe everyone who ever built a '49 Merc lead sled should use this thread to repent. I'll start: I built one once...I thought it was fun at the time...I was young...I used putty.

Your beautiful Merc build reminds me of the time I saw a dead-stock Willy's Americar at Englishtown for the Vintage Drags. Seeing a car stock that's an icon when modified is definitely an attention getter. Not to mention your builds are stunning.....

I don't go here often . I spotted this thread name while scrolling down . I am a Factory Stock builder . So , I looked & smily face ( ) !. I like this build . Most excellent , just right . The "Peter Green" looks like Factory ? I have lost my Paint chart . I am re-taking pics of my collection . If , that is a big if , I'll post my '49 Mercury here . Alaska Blue w/gray guts . A replica of the James Dean car in ; 'Rebel Without a Cause" before modifications . Thanx ..

Beautiful Merc, refreshing to see one built stock

[Ron Hamilton]

Nicely done Peter.

Stock Mercs... They do exist!

CHUCK! I am aghast! I'm non-plussed! My plussed has never been so non! How dare you build a STOCK '49 Mercury. I don't know what's gotten into you but you have broken one of the top two rules in the car world. The other one would be building a '57 Chevy without flames! It just isn't done sir!

I'm done speaking ironically now. THAT is one beautiful Mercury. That paint is flawless! You've earned five out of five from me. B)

Looks like someone is just the teensiest bit confused...

I'm better now. I just picked up my prescriptions.

Loved it!!!

I built one too, only mine is in black. Can post a picture if you want to.

Never liked butchered Mercs, like the stock, as they left the factory.

Yes please! Knowing your work, I bet it's great.

It's so good to see one done up this nicely, like it came from the factory!

[carrucha]

Good job. I agree with the others on how refreshing it is to see a factory stock 1949 Mercury.

[58 Impala]

Looking over this and your other posts. Your paint jobs are outstanding.

Very nice! I too, did one in that color a couple years ago. the revell kit makes custom so easy that it seemed a shame to not have a stock one to go with it.
