Stoned Hoods & Crooks Willys

[DanR]

This was a great, fun build and I hope Moebius continues to release these. As a Willys fan, this was the one I wanted the most, so naturally, when it came out, I bought it immediately. The kit is a nice "palate cleanser;" one of those kits you build in between larger projects because it's relatively easy to assemble and looks great on the shelf.

A word of advice to anyone considering this kit - don't follow the Moebius instructions completely. The figure should NOT be fully assembled prior to final assembly. The right arm simply will not fit through the passenger side window if it's complete. Assemble the figure in its entirety minus the right arm. Attach all fingers to the right arm EXCEPT the thumb. This will allow you to snake the arm through the window, insert the remainder of the driver, attach the arm to him, and then attach the thumb. The downside is a very visible thumb joint, but it's a small price to pay to avoid greater overall damage to the body or the figure.

THIS IS COOL DAN, IS IT THE SAME SIZE AS THE POLAR LIGHTS KITS?

[DanR]

Tom,

I'm not sure, I don't have one of the PL kits to use as a basis of comparison. It's pretty big! I would guess that the body of the car is closer to 1/20 scale overall.
