AMT 1/25 Customshop 1958 Edsel Pacer.

Nice to add a hardtop to DMs wagon and FMs convertible. Strange how neither made one from the tooling. Similarly would have liked to have seen a 53 Buick hardtop to go with DMs wagon and convertible.

Nice easy kit this one! Went looking for AMTs Masterpiece collection and found this. Fully prepainted and trimmed. If anyone is thinking of having a go at a kit this is worth a try. All you need is glue, even each part is separated in its own bag. Unfortunately the 1/25, 1/24 difference is evident when placed nose to tail but is not so obvious in group shots.

Geoff, those Masterpiece kits are really something.  I have this one as well that I built, but I also have the already assembled unit in Turquoise and White.

thanks Bob, I have this as a new project. It has a few custom features which I'm going to try to convert to stock just for a bit more 'excitement'!

Hopefully make a start today Tony. I work outside and we've had 4 days in a row of low 90s heat, so no go! 😓

@geoff-jowett I want to see it too. And by the way, those ninety degree days sound good to me. It' 21 degrees where I live and that's in the southern part of the US.
