Has anyone seen a Neon or SRT-4 Model?

[ejclide]

I'm trying to find a model neon (2nd gen obviously). I would love to build one since that's what i own, but i can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know of one even made? I've tried all sorts of companies, HLJ, etc., and i'm just having no luck. Let me know if you've seen one, or if you have one you wanna sell! thanks guys

Never been made - it's a blessing really.

[ejclide]

I have one in 1/24 1/25 scale. Its a 4 door but I think its the first body type. I have seen more of them on ebay every now and then.

Maisto did an SRT-4 in diecast, and at least one unassembled version. The A pillars look weird. It's the only thing out there.

there is a 2 door coupe promo out there, but it is also the older 1998 body style

Maisto...

Wrong sized wing, easily corrected. But the mold lines on it I stripped one and repainted it, took down the mold lines a bit. The body just looks off still. But yea. The only thing you have to go on.
There are a bunch on Ebay right now... http://cgi.ebay.com/2003-Dodge-Neon-...QQcmdZViewItem

The older generation diecasts were from Brookfiled. Much much better than the Maisto, but obviously, not an SRT4. Really surprised Revell didn't pop one out. Maybe they'll do a Caliber.

They were plastic promos, very nice detail actually. Sedans, coupes, and even a few racing coupes.

I'm not terribly surprised Revell didn't do one. And the Caliber? Are you serious? No, they really need to do the Compass. That's the ticket

Guess you've never driven an SRT-4 with a Stage 3 upgrade then. Say what you want about it but the car is nuts to drive.

And the Compass? Are you serious? I have driven it as a rental car and taken it for a long trip (Calgary-->Vancouver, 10-12 hour drive) and hated that thing! It's so big yet it cant fit 5 people inside(it had a huge center console that extends to the bottom of the middle rear seat), the seats were so lack of support that my bottom got tired after 20 minutes of driving. The head restraints lean forward so much that the top of my spine were in pain after an hour. I can't even close the air vents since the plastics seem to stuck in place. With the CVT it takes a long time to make it accelerate beyond 120km/h (passing lanes were 0.5- 1km long and what a fight those were for me)

Let's not forget the incredibly alluring...styling....

Caliber sucks bad enough. Compass is a total joke.

Yes...I was joking about the Caliber!! haha
