Chuck Most Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) This is the fifteenth Moebius Hornet I've built, but it's the first mechanically stock one out of all of them. Even then, I added a few period accessories- the kit supplied visor, some wire wheels from the '54 Club Coupe, and fog and spot lights from the spares box. Yes, the antenna is thick as a brick, but at least it shows up in photos. I also added a couple of red "reflective strips" to the taillight panel after seeing something similar on a 1:1 Hornet. Paint is Testors Teal acrylic. I used a MAD prewired distributor- pity that it's mostly hidden in the engine bay.

bbowser Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 That color really pops in the sun! Well done. 15 Hornets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefordgalaxie Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Just LOVED it!!Don't worry, I have about 15 built 1957 Fords, so, no, you are not crazy (at least you are not alone if you are).The colors are great, and the foil work is very sharp, as usual. I like the '53 a lot more than the '54, and the only thing I would change is exactly replacing the wire wheels from the '54, in favor of the '53 wheel covers. Well, taste is like belly buttons. Everybody has its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Very nice! One of the best Hudson models I've seen! Great colors!Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Absolutely beautiful. And as always, your foil work is first rate. For all the great Hudson kits you've built and posted here, I think Moebius owes you a huge thank you. I don't think there's a better spokesman out there for the Moebius Hudson kits than you. Yet another home run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 That is an exceptionally clean work of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I like the wires on this. The full discs are nice, but the wires add that special something. The colors are nice- not really "stock," but certainly appropriate for something like a late-model repaint. That said, that teal is in the same family as Symphony Blue-Green, so it's not too far off, either.All that aside, it's a beautiful end product.Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercelo Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Very nice, the color with the white is top notch. Very clean and nicely done under the hood. Beautiful build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Thanks, guys. I had a blast building it, and I'm fairly happy with the result, so I'd pretty much be forced to call it a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
