What's left for the Hudson saga? No four door yet. Or early model. Perhaps a '49 4-door?

Why the box art shows factory wheelcovers, that are not in the kit: The car pictured is from vintage magazine advertising.

One more to try.... Harry Pristovnik

There's something about those shortys...

I ended up mixing the Flat Base to their Clear at a 1 part flat to 5 parts clear. Seems to work fine. Thank you all for helping.

Thank you, Casey! There is a tiny, tiny little "gear" on the far right of the page. Not labelled. That once clicked on reveals settings. That is why I want to kick the nether regions of a computer geek... they couldn't make that more prominent? They spread out that stuff all over the place. Grrrr.... Breathing.... Breathing.... Ahh. There now. Feeling better. Thank you again!

I cannot my thumbnail size images in Photobucket open up to full size so I can use the image url code. I am running Chrome 42.

Does anyone have experience using Tamiya X-21 Clear Flat Base? I want to brush a dullcoat to some small chrome parts. I seem to recall it looks like a chalky mess if used straight out of the jar.

I noticed on the original issue '53, that every mounting hole throughout the kit was too snug. I chipped the finish while opening up a hole. Next one, I am doing that before paint. Question is, are the later issue kits any better fitting?

I would like to try it before dissing it. I would use a putty like masking medium. If I mask a bit more than I want, the headlight trim could always be done with BMF. Otherwise, just putty mask, and shoot it with black, then Alclad.

What's the '53 Corvette tie-in with The Stig? Is there a figure of Stig with the kit?

Gonna lQQk so fine with the wires!

'54 Hudson should arriving in hobby stores later this week. Photo from Tom Carters site. Um, I thought this was to have the factory style wire wheels???

I did a quick Google on "Revell 1949 Mercury", found this: http://public.fotki.com/nascarfan12/model_stuff/revells-great-new-1/revells-new-49-merc/kirbys49merc014.html If it won't open, copy and paste into the browser.

Model King '69 Shorty...

Just.... that awesome!

Very elegant car you got there, Harry!

I don't understand how blowing up the picture will help?

Found my stash of aerosol paints today in (room temp) storage, after having relocated last year. Some of the cans covered with a brown sticky varnish like substance. The leaked can... Testors Metalizer. Right out around the bottom seam. Edit: Always store Testors in a box. Better yet, a plastic storage tub with a cover. Unless you like to scrub everything down nearby with lacquer thinner.

Wish I had seen this. Wish I was able to go. Even before his awesome Futurliner, we were aware of Mr. Lillette and his beautiful models. Maybe next year I can attend?

A couple hundred kits? Pftt! I just sold off the bulk of my stuff (about 1000 kits), and that is nuthin' compared to some collections out there. I know of two people in my neck of the woods who have 10,000+ kits. Yes, it is hoarding. But I rather they have it now, as compared to someones mom throwing them out 30+ years ago when he went to college. Sooner or later, most everything hits the market. And so will those.

Pat, really like the notched fender look. Makes the rig stand out from the rest.

Like this '60 ElCo...

Wow! Both... excellent! It's the details that I like. Like, do I see a small "dealer" emblem on the trunk? Never seen that done in scale before!
