Vintage trucks hold much more appeal to me than any other era.
I know this is not a true correct factory stock build....but I like it.
So anything kit wise in that era would be great....even just parts.....wheels, tires etc.
MORE DELAYS in the S&H Torino???? Really???? It was set for a Oct 2014 release now Oct 2015 but it is pushed back further??? With HUNDREDS of the real cars available all over the country I don't understand the problem. A real car, say an rare exotic hand built car, I can see issues in doing a kit.......a common American sedan......odd.......
You gotta remember The owner of Moebius has a personal connection to Hudsons, they won a lot of races and have a more positive history than many cars of the era. . Good subject matter. Can't say whats next.......only a few at the top of Moebius could....... But I do know if we keep buying.....they keep making!!!
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
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.
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!
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....
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......
Different tool maker it seems........parts layout is a little different too. FANTASTIC kits and subject matter that 15 years ago were unthinkable ......
