Glad that's settled! After all, we have to save up some bashing for when the Chrysler 300 comes out!

Was this the plan for 1958?

If any of you guys want to go at each other, do it in private via PM.

Wow... they're pretty sloppy housekeepers! I love the T.P. roll on the mirror!

Nice collection of photos! If that doesn't get the old gears turning, nothing will!

Remember... Moebius posted photos of the test shot for the world to see. They knew that comments, criticism and critique would follow. Obviously they wanted comments, criticism and critique, otherwise they would never have given us the opportunity! Moebius wanted to hear from us, they did hear from us, and in the end a better model kit was the result. I say kudos to the people who offered their thoughts and even bigger kudos to Moebius for the action they took. All model manufacturers should be so "in tune" with their customers! "Bashing" is gratuitous complaining or criticizing with no basis or reasoning to back it up.This idea that anyone is "bashing" the Hudson kit is unfounded, IMO (at least as far as this forum is concerned).

Notice how they tried to ride the late '50s fin fad by tacking on extra fins on top of the existing ones?

Right!

Buying the kit, opening it up, looking it over and reporting what you found here on the forum is not bashing. Why do so many of you seem to have a problem when anyone says anything other than "I love everything about this kit?" Are members here not allowed to have an honest opinion anymore? Seriously... why are you guys that are so offended by what others say... always so offended??? Maybe a forum where people are free to discuss topics and express themselves isn't for you? Oh, yeah, one more thing. The people who spoke up about what they saw as wrong or incorrect on the Hornet kit when Moebius posted those test shot photos... you know, the "bashers"... well, you can thank those people and Moebius, because Moebius took the "bashers" advice and made the kit better than it originally was going to be.

Wow, that's one tall gumball!

Hmmmmm.... I'm going to have to get tougher with you guys!

When it comes to auto graphics, my tastes run toward subtle rather than "in yer face"... I've always thought ghost flames are a good combination of custom and class. They can look especially cool on a black car, but I couldn't find a good example to post.

Does anyone have any recommendations as far as engine/chassis readily available that could work with this kit?

Does the kit have engine detail?

"Mensch me!"

How does the old saying go? "I don't care what they say about me as long as they spell my name right!"

I like it! Great details, cool colors.

Nice job painting the canopies!

So how many posts required before you become a "mensch?"

I've never been to Hawaii, but I hear the people there are very friendly. The first thing that happens to most tourists when they arrive is that they get lei-ed...

Chrysler's Fire Power HEMI came out in 1951.

Ain't that the truth!

The Chrysler has been delayed... should be out early next year. Don't know about the HEMI. Anyone?

Did you see the link in my answer to you??? All you have to do is click on it... I've already done your homework for you!

Have you tried a google search???? http://www.google.com/#q=moebius+1953+hudson+hornet+prices&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=imvns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=ufaFTqu6OMyfsQKh1L3lCA&ved=0CEkQrQQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=4bf20f4df735bb43&biw=1193&bih=624 It just takes a second to do one...
