What scale is this, 1/25?

Cheers

I cant say enough good things about these Moebius kits! The detail level is beyond my expectations. Building a really nice 1/25 slot car out of them is as easy as it gets. I am using the RTR H&r chassis' on these cars, as they make it where anyone can assemble a race ready slot in a short time for our Series. I gained some ground yesterday on mine, so I thought I would share. This car will have full interior with driver figure.

I am using Dupli color wimbleton white on this car for the base.

I had a bit of trouble with my decals. Not the kits fault, I broke off some of the lettering, and will need to paint it in before clear coating. no biggie really.

The wheel inserts in these kits are a perfect fit for H&R Wheels, they are almost a snap fit! This Chrysler 300 body has the longest wheelbase I have built yet, using the last holes on the adjustable chassis! this thing is a Tank. One other mistake I made in haste, was not sanding off the body side trim before painting and decaling. It said to do that in the instructions, but who reads them right? :oops: Either way, the car will be heavily raced, and will look good enough from a few feet away at speed. :lol:
Thanks for looking!

Looks great Bob, nice detail work too.

Looks real nice Bob. Is the Dupli Color that you are using Lacquer? Keep up the good work Bob. Bob...

Got the 300 Finished last night. It has already made a trip over the fencing on turn 3! The car came out pretty good to me. For a long wheelbase car, it handles pretty good too. Tires need another truing to be totally smooth, but a good runner for its first laps.

Bob that just sucks. Just send it to me and I'll spare you.

Seriously this is super cool. I've always loved these cars and that is spectacular.
