Did this get finished? Would like to see the end result, I built the same car recently and also had fit issues. Like you mentioned, the front sits too high which I found was the chassis not wanting to sit tight to the inner wings. Lots of shaving of plastic on this kit I found.
Looks great. Jade green is an odd colour, there's very few cars it looks good on, it seems to work ok on this. My '67 Impala was Jade green before I stripped it due to bad primer, it looked ok but I was kind of glad I had to strip the paint.
It's a neat fix. I was wondering why the frame looked so large. You could run some black sharpie or matt paint along the edge closest to the glass to look like a window rubber. The outer part then will look like stainless trim.
I like those colours. The Galaxie 500's from the 50's and 60's are one of my favourite looking cars by Ford. 1/25 kits are hens teeth over here unfortunately.
That's cool. The scale is just right too. I look for things like this at craft shops and such, like fuel pumps or street lights, but they either look too toy like or way out of scale.
That's the beauty of this hobby, if it don't fit you can make it fit. A lot of the models I've built have wheels and tyres from something else, it's just a matter of finding what is close enough to modify with the least amount of work.
Beautiful pair of Hudsons! Moebius seem to do very nice kits, I've never built anything from Moebius but from what I've seen they look to be excellent quality.
I decided to repaint the underside cos I didn't like the red against the black chassis, it looked odd, so I gave it a light coat of primer and I'll paint the whole thing black.
