Is there something missing from the wheel centers? Looks like there's a hole there where maybe a Hudson logo goes? Or is that the way the kit is?

That's the way they are in the kit Harry.

I believe they're supposed to be a small triangular shaped logo.

Unfortunately, there are no wheel hub decals in the '54 kit.

looks great...but 2 questions,

are the parking lights missing or ?

 there seems to be far too much chrome in the grille areas?  (not enough open space)

Parking lights are clear.

All of these old cars had clear parking lights all the way into at least the 60s

Amber lights didn't come around until later.

Even then, a lot of them had clear lenses & amber bulbs.

Very nice build Smelly!!

Well, then that's quite a slipup on Moebius' part. Obviously there was supposed to be some sort of center cap emblem there, otherwise why would they have molded the wheels with a hole in the center?

yes I know they were clear (well not really clear but white/frosted)  actually asking about the dot in the middle, locating pin or ?  

the amber lenses/bulbs began in 63 (in the US)

Thanks for the comments. In regard to the wheels, yes there is a triangular depression there, not a hole. And I did indeed paint it red, though it didn't show up well outdoors. I've also since "frosted" the front turn signals, using a white gel pen. And Harry, if nothing else kits like this have one great thing going for them. The holes are already there, so you have to put the mirrors on. :lol:
