Fully agree with that!

I must admit that I really enjoy seeing what talented modellers can do with this Mercury kit

Gorgeous
I love this, so smooth, so classy but evilish somehow.

I must say that the title of your thread made me immediately click it, as for some other reason I know this name ...

Nice rework on the body sides shape. Trunk looks great too. So well done and subtle.

This design has been developed in my head at least 15 years. The front end of the car is not perfect, so there just might be coming another Merc in future.
(Lets hope it doesnt take another 15 years)
