The
NEW
AMT/ERTL
1958 PACER
MODEL
KIT
HITS THE
STORE SHELVES!
After waiting for YEARS
the new AMT/Ertl 1958 Edsel Pacer kit has arrived! Released this
fall, it took me an entire weekend of checking hobby shops in the
Minneapolis/St.Paul area to find one! Model dealers expect to have
plenty on hand once the initial hooplah subsides.
I haven't even opened
the plastic bags inside my kit containing the parts. Just don't seem
to have the time right now. I haven't built a model kit for probably
20 years. The model is molded in gray plastic. Seems to have plenty
of chrome, even red inserts for the tail lights and inserts for wide
white wall tires. Rated a "2" skill level, which means age 10 and up
should be able to handle building it. Detail seems to be quite good.
Only the hood opens, doors and trunk are molded solid. I'm sure
there will be model buffs who make these things operational. Again,
I'll know a lot more once I get to start building it. In the
meantime I suggest that if you want one, you get it promptly, as
these sorts of things have a way of vanishing from sight before too
long. Would also make a dandy Christmas gift for an Edsel buff or
perhaps the offspring of an Edsel buff! Should you complete a model,
consider yourself encouraged to send me a photo. Scans of the box
sides are below, hopefully you'll be able to read the
details.
