My second project.

very nice, very nice indeed. did you build it box stock but add a bit of engine detail?

The ONLY thing I have to critique is the flame decals. a little bit of decal solvent would take care of them nicely.

Only thing I did, were pillows on backseat and engine wiring. I was beginner back then and I didnt know about Microsol and Microset, which are quite good for decals(First time I used these products on that 64 Impala, which you can see in WIP Hot Rod forum right now). I think if i show you my first model car, then you will take your words back, because first model car is VERY BAD and that Merc is MUCH better than my first Impala(First car was 64 Impala too, now I'm building another one) .

well my first model was just the worst glue bomb you would ever have seen. my second wasn't much better. It seems you've got some natural talent. Keep it up, it's looking great.

Trust me, nobody's first model car isn't bad as mine.
