AzTom Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Good looking models. I have built at least one of every diecast Hubley except the Indy car. I have one of of those started. Then I got into customizing them and that was even more fun. I thought some of them were on here but just did a search and nothing came up. When Fotki clears up I'll post some.

f1ford48 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 me too-Built all of them as a teenager- I still have some left-people complain about the filing of the castings, but its not that bad. I hand painted the moldings on the roadster when I was 13.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phirewriter Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Those all look neat, brings back memories. My dad loved Hubley kits, and had all thier metal kits and multiple of the Model A's. He had a couple of 1-1 A's in the early 60's thru the 70's. I have all of his kits in addition to mine but have yet to build any. I loved the box art on the original issues of the A kits too.
