Here it goes first post here and since i just got back into building vehicles i thought why not start with a merc so i got revell's new 2n1 kit. So not much here no changes to the kit just OOB and painted with kustom kolors pavo purple with my airbrush and some dupli-color arclic enamel clear coat. not sure why it shows with a blue tint though? still need to buff it out to get that mirror finish.

Purpleishous - great paint. It looks fantastic with the chrome and white/cream interior.
Definitely keep us posted on this one.

Small update i buttoned up the interior and got the decals for the dash done and the steering wheel got a jew insert of body color added in the center. The engine bay is buttoned up as is the under carriage. The interior roof liner got some purple piping to add some extra color to the roof and interior and the caddy decals applied to the wheels. Next on to the exterior to start finishing that.
