Red 300 and gold Windsor. Personally i would not bother,just build it. But interesting to read and i learn a lot.

this type photo comparison works only if the subject is the exact same distance away from the lens. Taking into scale differences obviously

True - best I could do was measure the length from the rocker panel seam to the door jamb and size both photos so that length matched. One more:

Now, who has the Revell and Jo-Han '62 Chryslers and a set of calipers?

Agreed. Its not that important to me if its not 100% dead on perfect scale to a 1/1 .

Food for thought:

Camera angles may cause some variation, but this might help.

Wheelbase discrepancy and two other little subtleties aside, what is really impressive about this shot is how closely Jo-han's rendition captures the real car! This is why their stuff is so sought after!

I will agree with that.

You'll never find as many body issues with a Johan kit as you do with a lot of others.

Especially the modern kits.
