This is a 24hr build. Tamiya Pink with Testors white lightning topcoat. Lowered, with the very first set of big wheels I have ever put on a model. I didnt get the window trim foiled, but by then, all I wanted was sleep. :D

That look so cool Sam. Love the colour. Well done. 1964 Mercury 1705482731 .


Question: Never heard of Testors white lightning topcoat. What is is? Clear coat?

Hi Sam,

While I'm not normally one for the large wheels on a classic car, these really suit this one, great choice with the colour too... 1964 Mercury 1f60e 1964 Mercury 1f60d 1964 Mercury 1f60e
