Pochering the Mercedes 500K/AK Cabriolet

Well the beast is finished, which is a little miracle having in account all the worst parts one has to confront.

The other nightmare it was to paint the huge body!!!! I used a lot of Tamiya enamel bottles in an bestial orgy of painting that demanded two sessions with a lot of sanding.....etc. Usually my painting technique allows me to have only one session but this is Pocher and couldn't be less than two of one hour each. I think that when this was finished I had given 20 coats at least.

If that's your model, it certainly is a real beauty, but what's with all that spooky ghostly lettering over the photos? It makes it hard to see the detail with sufficient clarity. Sigh [sigh]

Could ya just lose that aspect of your photos for us? It would really make looking at them a lot more enjoyable!

Sorry I had not other photos at hand, just I took what was in our server. Unfortunately I couldn't upload pictures here so I place links at hand. On the next month we will have a full article with all the detail you are looking for...and much more.
