Mercury Wagon and McLaren

I like to think I have a relatively wide span of car interests, and my latest two builds are a good example.

Just finished today is a Fujimi McLaren MP4-12C, finished OOB but with decals by a French company, Pitwall, obtained from Spotmodel in Spain - these are excellent, very thin, little carrier film and crystal clear.

The '49 Merc wagon was painted and decaled within 36 hours of first opening the box, has taken a further two months to finish it! Again, an OOB build but lowered slightly and using parts box hubcaps due to incomplete chrome on the originals :angry:. Paint is Tamiya Metallic Green and USAF tan with a little drybrushing for wood effect. Dark wood is the kit decals.

Both models are very nicely done but the wagon sorta overshadows the McLaren big time! It's always noce to see a wagon as they are without a doubt, much underappreciated. We need more wagons to be available in the hobby, that;s for certain!.
