John, Nice preso. I agree, with your views here, it's a nice model, and deserves better. I would like to know your steps to lower, these were lower . roof's are hard
to model in any scale, and I think DM has as much
trouble as anyone. your right, the rear bumper is just not protruding
enough, but the difference from a 1:1 car is slight. I look forward to
having a complete 1/24th series of Chrysler 300's, and This one
will do very well as the representative of the 1956. I just hope that
when DM does the 1960 300F, that they get everything perfect.
make it a convertible guys, and you know you can nail those up
tops.

Looks so much better, John. I can live with the tail being a little off and likewise the roof, but the high ride in the rear really bothers me.

John.............
I can figure how you lowered the front suspension.
For the back, is there screws attaching the rear axle to the leaf springs?

John, I would like to know the steps you took to lower the car

300B
John,
Excellent exposition on the Art of the 300B. I love the way you write.

Yes, he's an "ID" guy. I'm always amazed at how they see things, and how I can't that way.

I know just enough about closeup photography...
to know I'm not very good at it. The closer to the subject one gets, the more one grapples with distortion; and with my old 1.3 megapixel digital camera, shooting from a distance produces grainyness that would do an Impressionist painter proud.
John, I think the problem with the roof in my photos is in fact distortion. Below are pics of a 1:1 300B; at bottom an example from my last photos; and at center a new photo shot from a slightly higher angle (and in better light I might add). Observe what happens to the roofline!

Also notice what happens to the angle of the taillight panels.
