unclescott58 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) This is not my kit. It's a picture I found on the web showing the exact pre-paint 300C I have. Again, Forest Green? Or is it Parade Green? Edited April 8, 2018 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 It's Forest Green. I had that exact Custom Shop kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Here's a link to pics I took of the '99 AMT/Ertl reissue, so you can see what you're getting: http://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/609/25-amt-57-chrysler-300c I'm a bit torn regarding how to personally rate this kit, as it has excellent engraving and well defined details throughout, but yet some parts, when viewed individually, seem to fall a bit flat. The leaf springs are one example, having nice engraved detail to render each leaf as a separate, but as a whole part, look not quite as realistic as they could have. Not sure if that makes sense or not, but in the below pic you can see the details, and also the fact that there is absolutely zero curvature to the spring pack. Maybe this is one of those issues whic only appears when looking at the individual parts, and not the completed model as a whole, with all parts united, but I guess it just bugs me a little that so well thought out stopped short. Again, the early Hemi V-8 is a jewel and provides a good deal of value alone, an if you're building it as a '57 Chrysler 300C, I think you'll be delighted with the end result.

Well, you made me look and honestly the rear springs are actually flat on the real car. It may not be visually interesting but it appears protottpically correct.
