Episode 280: Building 49 Merc

In this episode of the Scale Riders podcast, we're diving back into the workbench with a vintage 1949 Mercury AMT kit. I break down what it took to get out of the modeling slump, going back to basics with rattle cans, and laying down a custom multi-shade gold fade using Tamiya TS-21 Gold, Titanium Gold, TS-75 Champagne Gold, and TS-65 Pearl Clear.We also take a deep dive into model car history, discussing rare vintage kits, catching up with friends in the community, and reading through Bud Anderson's classic November 1962 "Model Car Builders Corner" article from Hot Rod magazine.
