Here's the beginning of my Hudson Hornet model. Tamiya Racing Green on roof and Tamiya Park Green on body, straight out of spray can. I still need to clear the body. I think it looks like fifties colors. What do you guys think of it?
Yeah that lost part will show up after you completed the model or even when you get up from looking on the floor, there it is on your work surface. Hate that. Makes you turn into Homer Simpson, Duh!!!
How many of you have spend less time cleaning up the body than the chassis? I didn't take but half the time to clean the mold lines on my body than it did to clean everything up on the chassis. I know some have commented on the mold lines on the body but mine wasn't that bad. And I have all trim intact yet.
Bring them on. Any vintage Mopar is welcomed in my house. ANy vintage drag car is welcomed. Heck any thing that can be converted to a drag car is also welcomed. Please bring back some vintage Mopars.
Thats for the update Dave. I am looking forward to this kit. I already have the Hudson on the way and would like to get multiple kits of the 300. A Desoto would be great as well. I am tired of seeing the same thing built over and over. Its good to have a few more options out there to build. Thanks again everybody at Moebius. Keep up the great work.
I think it was more of a case of "just dumb luck" on the paint. But thanks guys for the comments on the great paint. I also had planned on doing Ronnie's ProMod Comet, in fact I just received the resin body from Bandit Resins but the body isn't correct for Ronnie's car so I don't know what I will do now for that.
Not a big update but, I got the salt flat discs epoxyed onto wheels the other night and dug out some tires that will fit the wheels. I don't know why Revell has to mold the rear wheels bigger than the fronts but they do. I wanted to use the same size wheels front and rear so I had to get into the parts boxes and find some tires that would work. I need to get the ride heght worked out as well now that I have my wheels and tires selected.
I have also been working slowly on the interior trying to get that completed.
I also ordered a set of the decals from Decals by Lucas to see what there quailty was like. Have never used any of theres so I am looking forawrd to receiving them. I may end up using the decals from Decals by Lucas instead of the ones I got from Model Car World a couple years ago. We will see.
Sorry I have no pics at this time. Will keep plugging along as my soon to be 9 month old daughter will let me.
Can anybody help in knowing if there are any differences in these kits other than the bodies and decals? Does the Jukebox Ford actually have a ford motor or is it the same as the Chevy? I am looking at doing a early Ford Promod that had a Ford engine it and would like to get opinions as to the best starting point.
