I just finished this one. Since I recently lost my job, I’ve got a little extra time on my hands to spend on building some extra models. This is not one that you usually see very often.

Sorry for your loss, hopefully you'll be in another one faster then you think. Excellent job with the model.

Nice buid! LOVE the color you chose for it. Sorry to hear about the job. Hope the next one makes you glad to have lost it!

I had a black 300C of about this vintage as a company car. It was an excellent vehicle but I'm glad I didn't have to pay for the gas to run it!

That's a bummer John. I hate to hear that as well. When one door closes, God opens another. It'll be even better. Fantastic build too. I love the 300's, and the color is fantastic. Great job.👍💯

yes I too am sorry to hear this John. Hope it all works out well for you in the end.
Thats a nice job John, I've never seen the kit, who makes it please? That's one intriguing feature of these 1/24/1/25 kits, every couple of weeks or so one turns up that I've never seen before.

@geoff-jowett Geoff, this was an AMT kit and it just recently came out. I picked it up at Hobby Lobby here in the states.

Thanks to all for your kind words. I hope I will not be out of work too soon. I'm too young to retire (68) LOL.
