Old Hudson Minitures wood kits
jokar124 replied to Craig Irwin's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The primarily wood Old Timers kits by Hudson Miniatures were 1/16 scale, which was more often described at the time as 3/4 inch to-the-foot scale. The later, all-plastic Lil' Old Timers kits by Hudson Miniatures were 1/32 scale ( 3/8 inch to-the-foot scale ). -

What would YOU like to see as a model

Not exactly a Town car, but you might consider the 1932 Rolls-Royce Sedanca II coupe made by Pocher in 1/8 scale: -
1:32 Hornby Starter Kit T400r
jokar124 replied to Smilesperhour's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
I don't recall these models ever being available as Airfix kits either. I believe this line of Hornby models was based on Scalextric slot car body molds. -

The hydrogen peroxide soaking technique for removal of plastic yellowing is often used by promo model and HO slot car collectors, and is often discussed in their Facebook Groups. Most of the time, chrome plating is adversely affected or completely removed. Painted areas are usually safe, but not always. Use at your own risk. It's best to disassemble the model and soak only the solid color and clear plastic bits.

Sorry to say, but don't expect the best quality from this vendor, Bruce and Steve. The seller is infamous decal pirate Jim Heller, operating under his "transgendered" alias "teresawulf". Jim is well-known in model circles for cheap, inkjet copies of other decal makers' work. In this case, the decal you ordered is a de-contented version of Fred Cady's sheet #25 for '69 Camaros. Fred's decal was silk-screened and provided white stripes and backgrounds where needed and silver emblems for the body as shown below. You won't be getting that on your sheet, Bruce, but hopefully what you do get will be usable. (Picture below is from the Mike's Decals website)
