Pocher Mercedes build; chrome trim

[@150flyer4]

Looking good and shiny. My favorite part was the fixture to support the frame. For some projects, there is more effort in making fixtures than the project itself.

Thanks!

Amazing work.. I don't have metal trim from the kit. I have like bare metal foil. I allways thought it's going to look ugly. Great video
I got your reply. Its a love hate relationship with a Pocher kit. But the kit looks really great when they are done right. Great work on that trim.
I'm thinking of doing that trim for my 540k

Thanks! Yea I agree, the kit provided foil just doesn’t look good. Good luck with your build.

I'm thinking finishing it in the fall. I'm finishing HMS Victory that was a very long build!

Cool! Is that the one World of Wayne is doing?

[@jiml9692]

No.. Its a latina kit. Did you know that there are different versions of the 540k? I have a extra body for the 540k and its not the same one
thats in my kit.

The one I’m doing is a 500k. I’ve not done a 540. Looks like that has a rumble seat and no top. Not familiar with if there are different variants of the 540.

I'm guessing the windshield kit is out of production now? I don't see it in their online catalog of parts.

[@customfabrications]

It’s there. Here’s the link; model-motorcars.myshopify.com/collections/mercedes-benz

It’s called windshield post with spotlights
