Loving your build Ray! Is it living up to your expectations? Make sure and include your Cougar II sometime in the comparison shots - - - always loved that one

Loving this build of one of my favorite cars. Thanks for posting!

So freaking cool! I hope this one makes it to the magazine!

I agree. With my poor eyesight, I think 1:12 or 1:8 would be better!

Sam's Club just started getting shipments of Maisto 1:18 scale Special Editions this week. At $16.99 each, I may or may not have picked up a couple...

I liked your model, but didn't appreciate it fully till I saw the video. Well done on capturing the 1:1 car!

Greatest condolences to all who knew and cared for Lee

The flames are very tastefully done. Yours is turning out to be one very classy chassis!

Oh my, what a classy ride this is turning into! That interior is sweet.

So cool TJ. I will be following your build with great interest. The Manta Montage was always a favorite of mine.

That's fantastic planning. I'm enjoying watching your build immensely - - - although when I build mine, I may just have to keep it to myself since I don't have anywhere near your skill set! My God man, your radiator hoses have clamps on them!

Am I seeing a little hood bump in your near future? From the pictures, it looks like the engine and radiator are peeking up a little.

Looking sweet!

It appears to be a thin lacquer paint job. I think primer could go over it fine.

I have new levels of sympathy for you as of today. I'm working on a project for my son with a GT Spirit resin Jeep Rubicon which I'm redoing like one he just bought - - - but I messed up the paint job and just spent 8 hours with rubbing alcohol and a brush. Those hand cramps you were referring to are apparently a real thing!

I agree with this assessment. The undercarriage looks incredible - just like ten winters of snow and salt in New York. The top looks great, but looks like it's ready for Barrett Jackson. BTW; I personally wish I had your skills either with the topside, or the bottom.

Okay, so am I the only one that thinks that looks really cool just like this?

Such a beautiful model, and such a great sentiment behind it. My dad just passed a few months ago, and he loved the Panther Westwinds J72 so much he took one of their magazine ads in the 1970's and framed it for his office. Sometime in the 90's, I converted a Bburago Jaguar SS100 for him, and painted it the tuxedo black exterior and vibrant red leather interior like the ad. I am just now getting this model back, and to me it is worth its weight in gold.

Joseph, which Moebius kit did you go with (maybe it doesn't matter)?

Thank you much. Loving this topic!

Mine just arrived in today's mail; quite a bit of damage in the front fenders where someone hacked at it, but overall looking like a fun project. I have to say though - - - that is a BIG 1:25 scale! The body is a good 9" long. May I assume the Moebius Chrysler 300 was chosen in part for good matching scale?

Beautiful job on a beautiful car Bruce. I'm with you; the Monogram Classic Duesenberg is in my top five of favorite models of all time.

I JUST bought one of these on ebay, having run across it completely by accident. I too saw the Exner influence, although it turns out to have been designed by Bill Campbell. I love what you're doing with yours, and will be taking detailed notes. Thank you so much for posting!

There are such great features, such as pinned sideview mirrors that slot into the body, and one piece windows that are pre-painted. It just made the model a joy to put together with my fumbly old hands.

Sorry to see that Craig. Duplicolor has done that to me enough times that I avoid it now. Tamiya TS-19 might do the trick for you...
