I got all the decals finished. I just need to paste the decals going on the white parts of the car on to a clear decal sheet and the decals for the purple parts of the car need to go on a white decal sheet. I will post pictures of the sheets when finished.

Where did you purchase the Hudson model?

Great start, Nikko. Especially like the interior.

Great job, Felix. Just curious about the engine placement.

Thanks again , guys.

I got the body finished as far as painting goes. need to take and post pics.

Dominik, The pictures I am using are posted at the top of the thread. There might be some more in my photobucket.

Got the motor painted.

Pics of the beginnings of the powerplant. The big round white air cleaner depicts the Purolator filters they used back then.

Thanks Dr. Cranky. It is very gratifying to recieve a positive comment from such a famous builder as yourself.

Hopefully this is the last primer coat.

Niko, I am going to make my own decals for the model but there is a sheet available for this car. I have seen them on internet searches for this car on google. I do not know how old they are and if they would be brittle. They are only 8 dollars so you would not be out much if they were.

I layed down the first primer coat and the sanding guide coat and sanded it to prepare for the hopefully final primer coat.

I used .010 X .060 styrene strips for the molding then added .025 styrene rod at the bottom edge of the strip to give the molding a more realistic look. I filled in the area where the two moldings meet with squadron white putty. I will make a customline decal to be placed in this area after it is bare metal foiled.

I Need to add the customline trim so first I lay down some narrow tape and mark above the tape with a tinydrill bit. Then with the dividers I transfer the drill marks to the other side of the car I layed the first tape down below where I wanted the moldings. I then remove that tape and install new tape right on top of the drill marks on both sides of the car. I then use a #11 blade to scratch along the bottom edge of the tape on both sides to have a guide to show me where to glue the moldings.

With this model I will try to depict the 1956 Southern 500 winner. Here is the kit and some reference and wip pics. I will have to remove the Victoria moldings and add Customline moldings to depict the real car.

I wonder if Hobby Lobby will sell it? If so i will definitely get me one.

Here is a better shot of the Hemi.
