unclescott58 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I'm with Dave Van on this one. Seeing the photos above now have me thinking about adding this kit to my collect. Unlike Mr. Van, I'll be building mine stock. By the way Mr. Metzner, I like that green. What paint is that? Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Another beautiful model from an era I never expected to see newly-tooled kits from again. Kudos to Moebius for making this happen, and for what looks to be a fine piece of work. Another one on my must-have-multiples list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mredjr Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Looks great but if you look at the third picture the top of the windshield still looks like a 54 Chevy. With what tooling cost and what we have to pay for a kit it does look like the model companies would try to get them right. Elvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Fellas, I got to see the Moebius Plymouth in 3D yesterday at NNL East on the table, and pictures don't do it justice! You will NOT be disappointed when this baby hits the shelves in the not too distant future! You all know how critical I am of body lines and such, and all I can say is that Moebius has hit this one out of the ballpark and then some! That's how nice I think this one is, and will be a super great seller for Moebius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf15 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Saw this up close and personal on Friday night . In a word .... Gorgeous ! I'll be purchasing quite a few of these and painting even more of them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what tooling cost and what we have to pay for a kit it does look like the model companies would try to get them right. Elvin If you look at a lot of photos of the real car, and carefully analyze the exact shape of the windshield, it looks to me to be a really tough one to get right. In some shots of the real car, the center of the top of the glass appears to be flatter than the model, while the corners appear to have more wrap. In other shots, the windshield as-modeled appears to be exactly as the real car is proportioned and curved. Based on what Bill Geary's had to say...a man who's posted numerous well-documented and photographed threads on correcting flaws in kits, who spots what's wrong easily, and who's seen the actual kit up close and personal... I'd be inclined to accept that this kit is pretty close to spot-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, I have heard from a few people that were at NNL, that Moebius was not there, so where they hiding somewhere in a corner and just easy to miss ?

charlie8575 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I didn't see them there, either. Dave might not have been able to make the trip? Charlie Larkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Here's the story ...... Dave couldn't make the trip so Moebius wasn't officially there but I've been quietly working with Dave Metzner on a few things since last fall. One of those projects turned into a build up / review story for Bill Coulter and a future issue of MCM on the 65 Satellite kit. Since I managed to finish it a few days before the NNL East, I contact Dave and he said I could display it. My plan was to place it on the Factory Stock table and see if anyone would notice so basically it was hiding in plain sight. I think it's safe to say it got noticed ..... For the record the build up was done using mostly 3rd round test shot parts so it's the same parts Dave used in his box art build up. That's about 98% of the final product only changes being some pin locations and couple of other insignificant items. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Steve, you did a great buildup of this kit that really conveys the subject matter in a positive manner. I've not seen this one in person yet, but from the pictures of your build, it sure looks to me to be a fine model kit on the way. TIM PS - will be looking forward to the Coulter/Goldman article on this one. TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drodg Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I am so excited about this kit. If the quality is like the 55 300 it will be a home run. I can't wait to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
