I wonder how long it will be for an enterprising resin caster to finially produce a wagon ? Thats one I certainly would buy. Meanwhile , I'll be waiting for a hard top . The car has all kinds of possibilities for a diorama subject ........ Ed Shaver

This car will be a hardtop. I'd like to see a wagon too, but I'd rather see a New Yorker wagon. I can see a lot of Chrysler and DeSoto resin bodies being made for this kit.

I just got mine in the mail today, WOW what a kit, I like this better than the Hornet. I must say Moebius does the best instructions sheets I have ever seen in a 25th scale kit plus a Chrysler 300 sales brochure too in color. Mine is going the Bonneville route as when i was there a few years ago there was one actually running to make the 200MPH club .I can see a lot of versions from stock to pro touring with this kit.The whitewalls are really nice and the crispness of the molding is great.This would be a fun kit for a build off...

I started on mine last week. To be honest, there is a little more flash on the parts than I am used to, but once the clean up is done, the fit is phenominal.

In the process of building, I like to fit the car together, glueing like colored assemblies, and tacking the rest together to see where i am going with the build.

Look at that detail!!!! And that is before paint. It fits together like a jig saw puzzle, but beware, you have to take your time with it, and if you are a novice modeler, build a few simple kits before tackling this one. This is definitely a "Skill Level 3" kit. And yes, I am going to paint and fiish it soon.

Love mine! My friendly local neighborhood personal plastic pusher has fixed me up with a couple.

Lannie, he has more ... best price around for club members. But don't wait too long ... if I hit the pickle tickets at the casino, I'll be buying some more 300s!!!

My Son gave me one for an early birthday present; i looked it over last night but my back was bothering me so badly i couldn't concentrate on it. this morning i gave it a real grokking; went over the instructions and the sales brochure as well. sooooo....

put it this way: Moebius has stomped squarely into what used to be sole realm of Tamiya or Revell.

the sprues are clean and crisp; very little if ANY flash; positive locating points; good if not excellent scale proportion and fidelity..... beautiful tampo printed wide whites..... and although i found one mis-named part in the instruction sheet, the instructions are easy to follow and beautiful to look at.

if Moebius took on the mantle of replacing the existing poorly tooled kits from other manufacturers, they would quickly supplant them in the industry.

as it is, however; i hope that they continue turning out kits of Hudson/300 caliber from the HUGE list of never-seen-styrene models.

I don't have that Stock Chrysler kit, or the NASCAR version yet of course, which is pre ordered, but after seeing the Moebius' Hudson, I guess this will be another great kit. It looks very good in pictures too, can't wait to get one. Maybe the best thing of Moebius' Hudson kit is the chrome plating, how it is in this Chrysler 300?

Ever since I started building model cars with the AMT 58 TBird I had some vision in my head of what I'd like to find in the box when I opened it, although I never thought of it until opening the Hudson and Chrysler .. and after all these years .. THERE IT WAS!

Thank you Moebius for making this come to be,

The AMT '58 T-Bird? I guess I'm not the only old guy around here after all.

the chrome is terrific IMHO... although it seems that there are many who will simply "chuck it in the pond" without a second thought.

i was pleasantly surprised to see the bumpers without any seams marring the face.... very nice.

perhaps the interior side panel details are a bit heavy; i can't tell; they look fine to me. it's a splendid companion to the Hudson; the engine looks magnificent; in all, it simply BEGS for attention to detail painting.

btw... it's BIG. proper '50's luxury car big.... trying to put all the parts back into the box is akin to stuffing an octopus into a rucksack....

I just picked mine up today and I am very impressed with it!I plan to build it as a mild custom painted coral with a black roof.i will have to mix the coral myself to make sure it is not too pink!
