MGL Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Just finished this Sunday, haven't polished it out yet since I am trying to finish a 60 starliner right now also. I need to make a note not to do 2 cars with so much BMF at the same time. Mostly out of the box except for a Parts by Parks distributor, flocking, and Kens Custom Dice. I also added fuel lines from the pump to the carbs. The color is testers bronze and its got several coats of testers wet look clear. The roof has a bit more shine than it looks in the pictures. I gave all the chrome a light coat with Tamiya smoke. This was my first try at painting over the foil on the scripts and scraping off the paint, I cant believe how much better it looks this way. I also did some light weathering on the engine and chassis. I wanted to add heater hose but could not find a good reference picture for both hoses. I know one comes from about 11 o'clock on the water pump, runs above the intake next to the head, and through the fire wall next the right horn but I don't know were the other line goes to the engine. Much thanks to Art Anderson for advice on the interior colors, I know they aren't correct but I got closer than I would have without his advice.
StevenGuthmiller Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Very nice Mark!! Thanks! Now you're making me want to start on mine! Steve
nicknkim14 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Awesome job all around,love that engine bay!
HotRodaSaurus Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Great model, not tried one yet.I like the way you have not over cooked the engine bay, trying to replicate everything just makes it look cluttered. And the foiling on the letters, it took me ages to get it right doing it the way you have but well worth the effort. Thanks for showing, JTee
DeeCee Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 NICE !! I like that color, and the interior looks great too.
rmvw guy Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Another great looking Hudson. Everything looks just right. Love the engine detail.
Harry P. Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Beautiful model! Nice engine detail, and I love the color scheme.
donb Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Great looking car and really nice color combination. Super nice!
Grumpa Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Wow Mark....this is a beauty! The interior work is gorgeous, and the dash...nice! Adding a bit of weathering to the engine bay makes a big difference to the overall appearance!Nice job!
sjordan2 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Beautiful work. I saw a rerun of "Chasing Classic Cars" yesterday, where Wayne Carini bought a '53 sedan. Note to builders: The antenna is attached to the chrome of the windshield, and a knob inside swivels it down in front of the chrome on the split.
charlie8575 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Looks good. I like the colors, too.Charlie Larkin
MGL Posted October 3, 2015 Author Posted October 3, 2015 Thank you for all the kind words. This was my first Moebius kit and I enjoyed building it even though I have absolutely no experience with Hudsons. The information in the instructions is so much better than what we have had to work with for so long, the time I would have spent doing research was spent actually building. I will definitely be buying more of their kits. On another note, I liked Fotki better than Photobucket but I guess I will just have to deal with it as I have no intention of buying a subscription. Here are a couple of pictures after a lite polishing.
