I have seen some great N scale layouts built on those cheap interior doors....3' x 6.5' .....sturdy and easy to move or stand on end during down time. $20 locally.....

It is a bash of a 'kit'. I say bash as the kit has 4 walls and a roof.....nothing else. I shortened it about 6 scale feet and made the foundation, roof details and interior, signs etc. LED lighting is hidden. It is 1/48 scale and will be in my downtown section which will be about 8 x 16 feet of just city.....to show off cars of the era and buildings. Thanks

Let's see....... N, HO, HOn3, O3r, On30 and G (1/24) The Intermodal is scratchbuilt O scale 1/48 notin finer than a Diner Ore car 1/48 30 inch gauge

Also note how different the trunk lid is between FB and notch.

I am often confused......but owning a 68 notch....not this time.....

65-66 notch back rear window is 100% different than a 67-68. It is inset and has very minor sail panels. To get a correct one.....plastic and lots of work.... I have a 1/1 in the garage if you need pics.

Issues aside.......One of the best replica stock builds of that kit. I don't recall any issues....but in a stock car build you bypass many possible problems. Tamiya paints, PPP wheels/tires and Penngwen decals.

Another one gone from a great era of road racing......RIP John....

I use a food dehydrator and can go from bare plastic in the morning to final ready to assemble that night. If you use a heavy clear do ASAP after color or 3-4 days. I have seen clear 'spiderweb' when color is not 'gassed out'. Good luck!

100% correct.......can you also see a gasser, Race team with trailer and Midget or vintage rail? So many things......

Like Abe Lincoln said......'don't believe everything you read on the internet' .....now it seems he should have added LHS too... My buddy who is a wholesaler said he sold out in minutes when he thought he had ordered a 2 month supply. It is proving to be more popular than Revell thought. Rumors of the death of plastic models is just rumors....

Anytime......take care

How many of us here DO NOT PAINT GRAY BODIES?? After I paint my first issue of my AMT Avanti kit by dipping it in a can of enamel Dad had left open......Never not painted a model but for a 'ghost' contest build were you were not allowed to paint. A $28 Hudson kit is not aimed at kids......no apology needed.....don't like it???? DON'T BUY IT!!!! Vote with your wallet. I hear the new Revell snap Mustang is nice. Agreed....much ado......

Great idea!

Different tool maker it seems........parts layout is a little different too. FANTASTIC kits and subject matter that 15 years ago were unthinkable ......

It's been covered in the other 54 Hudson thread and in EVERY Ford truck thread. NO BS......body molds are not polished to the same degree as say a Revell snap kits mirror finish. I have no investment or interest in Moebius.......this is just my experience. Like ALL models I prep the body removing flash and gates, mold lines if any. Spray it with Dupli-color #1699 sealer, allow to dry, wet sand and it's ready. Same work to prep as any Revell or AMT kit....maybe a bit less. Lee has it right......not an issue for anyone that has BUILT a kit.

Tamiya white primer for me....

Mine is the salt method....

More info........ kit decals? aftermarket decals? screen print....aLPS before application? after?? end result wanted?? appearance? protection?

I feel it does....

Called a 'sealer' on the can.......it looks and acts exactly like Tamiya gray primer....and at $3.99 a giant can....works for me!

For me it works like Tamiya gray primer. So yes......I use it as a primer.....and the sealer part is bonus. I have built 100's of models using it. I also use it for all my model train projects.......used maybe 30 cans over the years.......love it.

Have you used the Dupli-color SEALER?? It is not the same as the Primer. Both can be bought in gray......the sealer to me is like a scale primer. I keep Dupli-color primers on hand too in all the colors they offer. But I use more 'sealer' than anything. I can get the Dupli-color at our Magic Mart cheap....and I don't like change....so when something works...I just tend to stay with it. Whatever works for each is good!

I'd spend the $3.99 for Dupli-color primers and sealers and skip the WM stuff. I think it's as good or better than the tiny $8 can of Tamiya. Dupli-color has never failed me.
