Porscheman Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) I finished the Edsel in a long build for me, in 3 days. I painted it Krylon turquoise with Tamiya's ptimer white for the body and seat inserts and finished it off with 3 coats of Testors wetlook clear. 3 very light coat of Tamiya's clear blue was applied to the windshield to give it a nice tint. I waited a long time to find a clean 59 Edsel and I think the wait was worth it. I'm still waiting on the fender ornimates from The Modelhaus. Thanks for looking.

Ramfins59 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Geeze Al, 3 days is a long build for you...??? HA HA HA HA HA HA.... It sometimes takes me 3 days just to prep all the parts...!!! You're a madman! As usual, you did a great job on the Edsel. I'll eventually get around to working on the original AMT, unassembled, unpainted '59 Edsel kit that I scored on EBAY last year. I hope I can do it justice like you did with yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Love the Jet Stream Blue and Snow White two-tone! I built a hardtop in that scheme long ago; traded it to Ron Merkel. Wonder if he still has it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impcon Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Al, those are realy nice pretty colours on a very nice, clean build!!! Wow! VERY pretty!!! The softer, pastel type colours can be really attractive in cars from that era just as the brighter colours are. Soft clours to me suggest beauty, class and elegance while the "louder" colours can best be secribed as "sharp!!!" Yours looks like a very classy ride. Nice work!!
