A 1/25 scale Green Hornet "Black Beauty"....!! from the mid '60's TV show...not the new movie.

Hi Tom, That's just my thing, about hoods. And you have some good reasons for not hinging a hood. And I do agree with kit hinges being oversized and toylike. And big pieces of tubing and wire are worse than just leaving the hood off. But my thinking is to be a realistic looking scale replica it needs a hinged hood... and I do respect everyone's "comfort zone" and reasons for doing or not doing something on a build.. Just my thoughts on hoods....

Welcome to the forum Stefano...!

I think most modelers build in their own "comfort zone" It just depends what level of detail and accuracy you want to put into a build. Building models is an enjoyment we all share..! In my opinion...if you share your work on a forum or at a model car club its all done in the fun of building and sharing. I myself strive for a realistic look on most of my builds, and besides "the basics" I cant build with kit parts that are molded too thick, and I have to sand them down to look more in scale thickness. Including belts, engine and seat, exhaust tips, The edges of hoods, wheel openings in fenders, window posts, hood scoop openings should be thinned down to look more in scale. And if you add something it should be in scale. Hoses, wires, engine brackets, roll cages etc. That's how I like to build 'em...! BUT..... if you put a model car on a table in a judged contest... You have to start with "the basics"... not removing mold lines, ejection pin marks, part seams, manufacturing info raised letters that could be seen no visible glue, finger prints, bad fitted parts or dust should be visible no bad paint work or bad bare metal foil work, and no bad decals crooked parts or crooked wheels or only sitting on 3 wheels if you have any of the above present, your model shouldn't get a second look by judges...but I have seen too many great looking paint jobs and extra detail work that looks great ... but they have one of the above issues and still manage to place in their category..! That's not cool in my book..! if we're talking pet peeves... at judged shows hoods not hinged...just sitting next to models... unless in box stock category and hinging was not included in kit MOLD LINES and SEAMS..! out of scale add on's crooked wheels a lot of added detail....but bad paint or missed basics... But that is how I feel ...and when it's not on the contest table it's up to the individual builder to take it their own "comfort zone" and that's what makes the hobby fun for all...and I think a builder shouldn't be dinged for not doing what I think...unless he asks us what would make his model building better...! Just what I think...

Nice job...! like the color...not a big green fan myself..! not a totally new kit.... based on Revell's ongoing '32 platform....., includes recent 5 window, sedan. the older highboy, 3 window, and Dan Finks Speedwagon, all based on the same kit... .....I also bought a couple... great parts kit..!

Cool...!

Very nice Dale..! really like the paint..!

Cool..! What kit did you start with..? I have only finished 3 in the last 10 years...2 I built for a friend....need to get started too...!
