Moebius Hudson hornet special 1954

[happy grumpy]

Build a few years ago, this was my second Mobius kit. Had a few issues with the windshield. I have learned since then you have to sand around the edges and then it fits right in. Pretty much the same with the pickups. Apart from that they go together pretty well. The paint is a custom mix of Tamiya acrylics . That's another kit that I bought because the box art looked cool. I'm glad I did. Now if they would just re issue the 300B. 

Again, thanks for your time.

Nice Hudson there Mario, well done and thanks for the heads up about the windshield. 

Cheers, 

David. ??

I like it a lot. For me.... I'd start out to make an OOB one... but it would likely take a nasty turn somewhere and wind up  BACK IN THE BOX. Just like my other 25 stalled projects.

Great looking Hudson.  Well done.

[TonyK]

Very nice! A great replica of those times. Moebius kits are enjoyable to build.

[NOBLNG]

Very nicely done Mario. Is that the kit chrome, or did you re-do it?

[LennyB]

Looks very nice, great job. Have yet to build one of these but I've heard a lot of good things.

 

But I'm confused, should I go to the main office or to reception.?

[Kenmojr]

Excellent. Your photography and backdrop really are a very nice touch.

[ReduitRetro]

I love it! Great looking build for sure!

[ChrisR]

Looks great.

[ncbuckeye67]

That looks great! I love those Hudsons (need to build one of mine now).

The different lighting even changes the color of the model. Great looking paint finish and body trim. Like the unusual subject not many really know that much about the Hudson.

Very nice Mario.  I really like that color.  Nice build.

[TransAmMike]

Great job (as usual) Mario.  ?

Thanks Bob, I hear you. Moebius kits are nice to build though.

Thanks Greg. aside for the side trim,(BMF) windows (Molotow), everything else is stock from the kit.

Thanks Len. You are a keen observer. Back when I built this background, I realized that there were a contradiction in the signs, I was about to remove it but I decided to leave it there to see if somebody would pick it up. Congrats, you're the first one ?. I also left another( Easter egg ) in another background. It's a bottle of jack Daniels.

Thanks Ken. I will have a new background soon. I just need the time to take some  photos.

Thanks David. The first photo was taken under a fluorescent light and was a little over exposed. The rest was done under natural light.

Actually if you check you will find it's empty.?

Great looking Hudson Mario!

Great color and nice to see one of these Moebius Hudson’s built with black walls, a more common sight from my 1950’s childhood. These Moebius Hudson’s are such excellent kits. I had a blast building a ‘54 Coupe for my brother a few years ago and have been buying up a few more to build (this ‘54 fastback, the ‘53 coupe and the ‘52 convertible). I’m learning to grab kits like these when they come along and are still in a reasonable price range ($25 - $30),  they sometimes get scarce, go up to crazy prices (Galaxie ‘46-‘48 Chevies) and disappear pretty quickly.

Well done Hudson, Mario - it has that early 50's vibe with that color and the blackwalls - looks great !

Wait, I thought we did?  Yup, just looked in the warehouse, there's a bunch of them there.

You won't have to wait much longer for these to return to normal availability

 

Outstanding build Mario!  Looks wonderful in your color choice, and photography is very nice.

Nice looking Hudson, Mario! I like this kit and have built it once and have one more in the closet. You did a really nice job on yours! ??
