'59 Eldo convertible

[Kit Basher]

Last one for 2024!  Monogram kit.  Straight OOB.  The paint is Testors square bottle "Metallic Red".  The interior is MM "Wimbledon White".  This will be a belated Xmas gift for a buddy.

I gotta get my hands one one of those; I did build the Surf Shark '59, but I like the regular car one better. Yours is totally awesome, love the colour and detail. Quick question was there a hardtop model too or just the conviertible?

Thanks, Nathan! There is a hardtop version as well. They are great kits and fun to build.

Nice job! I think you may have given me the motivation to track one of these kits down for myself...hmmm!

Thanks, James!  I say go for it. It is not an "easy" kit, but it goes together well and fits good. I have done the hardtop and this convertible, and I enjoyed both.

Very nice build. Cleanly done. The engine bay is perfect. Nice job on the chrome trim. Did you use the kit supplied chrome? Coincidentally. I'm  currently building the hard top with a similar color combo. Here's a couple of pics of the interior. I'm waiting on warm weather to prime/paint.

Thanks, John!  I did not use the kit chrome, I used BMF. (A lot of BMF)  Trying to get those stickers to line up seemed like an accident waiting to happen to me. I like your two tone interior, it's more accurate to the real car. I just liked the look of straight white.

That last build for the year is a nice one Hugh.  I really like these Big ole land yachts.  Nicely done man.
