bh1701 Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Some photos of my latest completion. An AMT 1969 Mercury Cougar. The color is Tamiya TS-20 Metallic Green. I think that this color is quite appropriate for a post being created on St. Patrick's Day! The kit is the Cougar Eliminator, but I filled the spoiler holes on the trunk, removed the hood pins, and omitted the front air dam to make this a standard Cougar. I added a console to the interior (from a 1970 Mustang). I did not have dark green embossing powder for the carpets, so I used some modeling railroading grass instead. Overall, a pretty nice kit. There were some issues getting the hood to lay flat, and to get both the front and rear bumpers to fit. Some careful sanding and filing helped to eliminate (or minimize) these issues. This is the 2nd kit that I have done the scripts using the "paint over bare metal foil" process. I am quite happy with the results. It's takes a delicate touch and lots of patience to get the paint off cleanly, but it does look good! Thanks for looking, Bart
Bainford Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Very nice, tidy Cougar. Excellent work on the script foiling. The colour suits the car. Well done.

Spottedlaurel Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Very nice. The badges worked out well and the interior looks just right with very sharp detailing.
Steve H Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Very clean build. The “grass” is perfect flocking, well played! I need to be brave and try the “paint over foil badges” technique, it looks fantastic. Steve
