Finished Revell '49 Merc

[viperofoz]

I finished this one a little while back.

Buick style side trim was made from evergreen sheet and rod.

Paint is Tamiya Mica red over gold leaf and Pearl white over racing white followed by a couple of coats of pearl clear then regular TS-13 Clear.

That is absolutely beautiful man! The paint is amazing. I've got a soft spot for 49 merc's and fords, and this is SA-WEEEEET!!

[striving]

Thats a sure winner! Really well built. Be proud of this one!!

The colour is perfection. I love these types of cars and this model is spectacular. Nice display stand too.

I second everything already said above, super smooth and cool ride!

It's amazing how different a paint job can turn out besides the clear pearl I did just the same red on my '67 GTX and it doesn't carry the same hue by a long shot!?

The sidetrim is excellent, I have to try it out on my old home shopped AMT Mercury.

Not to highjack your thread but take a look at the different hue on the Plymouth.



Thank's for sharing.

I hope I'm allowed to steal some ideas from you.

Thanks Niclas, I think its more a case of lighting than actual colour difference. The colour on my Merc looks more like yours when viewed indoors under artificial light than my outdoor pics show.

Nice GTX btw.

Hey Dan, gorgeous build there man, but that avatar just had me rolling on the floor man Really cool. I have purchased 3 Mercs since the day they showed up at the Hobby shops, that color is sweet but I am also thinking of using the new Testors custom colors, I just have to make up my mind on which color to use. How do you like that Tamiya clear??? I keep hearing good things but need a little more input!
