1956 Chrysler 300B

Very nice kit. Although I haven't started building it yet I can see that the quality is excellent. The instruction sheet is well done with actual photos. This is my first Mobius kit and now I'm sure it won't be the last.

After having built 2 of their very small line of car kits, and having an absolutely wonderful time, I never would have thought that they would stoop to cheapening their second generation kit, but that is what seems to have happened! Here are the biggest of the problems, following the order of the instructions... 1. The whitewall tires are hollow and the wheels do not hold worth a darn. 2. The steering wheel, as positioned by the dashboard and the tab on the steering column, places the wheel touching the front seat. 3. The front suspension parts including the control arms and the pins on the spindles are so weak and are inclined to fall apart, so that you may find it necessary to glue them, but then they can no longer swivel, and the concept of movable wheels is lost. 4. There is only 1 gluing tab on the front window, and the butt joint at the top separated so that there was a gap between the 2 parts that is impossible to hide or correct. 5. The windshield wiper bag is a poorly designed casting that is flat and actually looks smaller than its decal. I substituted a part from my extras stash. The antenna is another throwaway part that you will want to replace. 6. The door handles were originally supposed to use locating pins and matching holes. Somewhere after the instructions were finished, they decided to change this to a tab and slot, and even though you sand all four mating surfaces, the handles still do not fit well. Exercise care in sanding the mating surfaces, or you could leave some raw plastic showing.

I just got this model in the mail from Hobbylinc. After going thru the parts and doing some test fitting and build planning, it is obvious that this is a very nice model! The instructions are clear and give color call outs for the different parts; they even tell you what colors the real came in when it was produced. There are even color pictures of the engine and interior to help with the decal placement.
