[Closed] (Pics) NEO/MCUSA 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline Aero sedan

The Neo model looks like a real improvement over the MC model. You can get much better results in fine detail with resin over white metal. Looks like they got the correct script on the trunk vs. the MC. The solid color always comes off better than metallics in this scale as the metallic is just to big for our scale. Beautiful rendition!

I'd like to see a side-by-side comparison. The photos and lighting are completely different..

(Pic) Me too Albert. Here is a better photo of the Neo.

Curtis, The MCUSA is in resin also.

I have the NEO version on order - hope to receive it this week. It looks terrific to me.

I also have the Neo 1948 Chev on order. I understand that they are selling rather briskly.

If that's the case it looks like Neo did the better job.

Looks to be an excellent model. Good job NEO!

Yes, I agree Curtis, the fine detail on the resin models is exquisite, but

I wonder if they will stand the test of time, once the glue starts to dry out. Time will tell. I suppose one of the secrets is to keep them in constant coolish temperature, and dust free, i.e in the display cases they came in, or in a dust proof cabinet.

Totally agree regarding the glue, Mike. Windscreen frame on my Matrix Packard ...

came loose after one year, was tricky to fix...

That really looks good, but it isn't a side-by-side comparison.

Can you take a picture of both side-by-side? To be fair the Motor City photo is very poor and it's not a brand new model. These cheap resin models don't hold up and usually start falling apart...

Yes , mine are in a coolish environment and in a dust proof case. I also have the display case windows covered with a clear plastic film, the kind they use on home or office windows that I had added to the display case windows. It blocks out the UV light. I can't stand models with yellowed windows. As for the glue I don't understand why the glue should let go on resin anymore than white metal. The glue should stick to the photo etch which is stainless steel and the substrate on both the resin and white metal models is the paint and not the material they are molded in. Maybe they need to change adhesivies. With all the adhesives that are available today there is bound to be something that works for the long term.

Mine is on the way, should have it on Friday.

I think that some photo-etch is glued into a curved surface,, therefore the part is under stress. As soon as the glue dries it springs off at one side, or possibly both sides with just a glue spot in the centre. Unless the photo-etch is pre-bent to fit this will happen. Pre-bending p/e exactly is a highly skilled operation and on a model production line there would be a high wastage rate - not good for either speed of build or profit margins. Just my two-penn'orth for what it's worth.
