Just got this fairly new release in a few weeks back.  I can't get over how much better the Challenger (& Charger, for that matter) looks with the Widebody package.  Nicely done model by Solido, though both the hood & trunk are sealed.














comparison shots with Highway61's fully opening & nicely detailed 2009 R/T.

I'm always amazed how Solido has survived and seemingly thrived over the decades by continually reinventing their product line.

Nice pics Gavin and I too thought Solido did a decent job on this one (but the sealed trunk/hood are a deal breaker for me). I'm still on the fence about this "wide body look" (1/18 & 1:1).  I guess it's the "new" muscle car look, the problem for me is that "this look" is on a retro body style. I'm still kind of shocked that Solido is even around...MAYBE (JUST MAYBE!) some full function (all open) diecasts are coming??   Who knows....

Ok Gavin, call Solido to collect your commission I just ordered one. Great photo shoot too, real car, new model and comparison shot with other manufactures. Keep up the good work Smile

@rich-sufficool...that's definitely true.  I have an old Bentley S2 by Solido that I picked up in the mid-late '80.s.
 

@chris...I personally love the widebody look.  I think it makes the "narrow" cars look a little plain.

@josh...ha, glad I can help spend your money!  I actually got 3 Solidos in at the same time.  I appreciate the comment!

The wide body looks cool but the standard body looks nostalgic.

I love both body styles but prefer the wide body as it looks much more aggressive.
