Revell 49 Merc No2
I seem to have a thing for rods & Kustoms at the moment - so I've started to do bit more on this one which is my 2nd version of the Revell kit.
I've always had a soft spot for the Buick sidetrim/headlight combination so as both are offered in resin from Replicas & Minatures I thought why not. So far I've added the lights & trim, filled in the hole for the frenched rear lights and deepened the fender skirts with plastic card so they run level with the bottom of the body as opposed to the "kick up" in the kit skirt. The orange colour is just filler primer and not an abortive attempt at a Gene Whitfield fade paint job  .  Thanks for looking Andy

Re: Revell 49 Merc No2
Made a bit of progress on this one.
It's been sprayed in Zero Paints Dodge Plum Crazy Pearl and the Zero pre-thinned clear been polished out with Micro-Mesh & Tamiya polishing compound. I've also added the Bare Metal foil to the windows & side trim.    Thanks for looking. Andy

Re: Revell 49 Merc No2
Looks great
 Dunno why, but I am not 100% convinced by the chrome on the sides...but 90% is still a good score

Re: Revell 49 Merc No2
To be honest I'm not building as quickly or as much as I have done over the last couple of years. I'm finding that I'm not as driven to complete stuff as I was & just do a bit of modelling when I feel like it.
Consequently not much progress to report on this one except for spraying the headlights with Alclad and deciding on the wheel choice. The whitewalls are from the Galaxie 46/48 Chevy Fleetline kit together with the Revell steelies stripped of chrome and sprayed body colour - the Dodge Lancer hubcaps are resin items from the spares box (possibly from The Modelhaus ? - I've had them ages). I've also sprayed the interior panels up in white & purple & made a start on the engine but haven't taken pics as yet.  Thanks for looking Andy
