• Hey folks, I'm looking for some parts. I need a 1950 Mercvury dashboard, and Desoto bumpers. Any idea where I might find those? *NM*
  • Can't help with the DeSoto bumpers but I have an AMT 49 Mercury dash, yours if wanted. *NM*
  • The only source of a 50 Merc dash, that I recall, is the ultra rare Aurora Mod Squad wagon (and it left much to be desired)... I'm assuming that the DeSoto bumpers your looking for are ribbed? Wasn't there a pair of them in the Revell chopped Merc kit? *NM*
  • Thanks guys, I actually found one. There’s a file for a 50 four door available. I bought it and I’ll be printing the dash. I appreciate your help! *NM*
    • Will you be building a 4 door Mercury Eight as well? *NM*
      • I don’t think so. It doesn’t look quite right to me. It may be 100% accurate, but it just seems a bit off. *NM*
  • Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland sells a really nice resin cast 50 Mercury dash. *NM*
    • There was a pair of ribbed bumpers in a release of the AMT '40 Ford Sedan Delivery. *NM*
      • The Revell Custom Mercury also has a set of ribbed bumpers. *NM*
      • My error. Looks like the '40 only has front ribbed bumper option. None for rear. *NM*
        • The Revell Custom '48 Ford Coupe #4253 has front & rear ribbed bumpers. *NM*
  • Speaking of Mercurys, I discovered a built Mod Squad Merc woody at a LHS last weekend. It was in a display cabinet, unpriced, and the cabinet had a sign thatread 'buy 2 diecasts, get one free.
