1962 Studebaker Hawk

There it is, Missing Link resin kit with AMT Starliner platform and a semi scratchbuilt supercharged R4. I wish I knew what happened to the paint. All that mottling is hardly visible to the naked eye. The camera must have better eyesight than me.

Great to see the Studebaker Pat! Your photography makes it really stand out!

Turned out beautifully, I had watched your engine build. Have to agree with posing in front of the garage looks great.

Looks great Pat! Digicams can do strange things with metallic paint. I've always liked the looks of these cars, and it's amazing with the new roofline change for '62 how it changes the character of the Hawk. Yet it was the same basic car going back to '53.

The garage dio pic is a good one..............looks right at home parked there!

You really make me want to order one from missing link!! Great work, it looks great ????

[donb]

Sure is a beauty Pat. And the dio is pretty nice too!

[vintagercr]

Pat, that looks really nice!  I like the way you photographed it in front of your garage.  It looks like the real thing

Very nice , I like the garage dio as well,  but the car  is very nice by itself  !

Fine looking model. Your experimentation with creating that garage backdrop really paid off too. 

[drodg]

Great job.

I find it works better if not at 90 degrees to the floor. this way it doesn't tend to reflect and the colors are truer.

I love it!!!!!

Nice build, real nice!

[CometMan]

I'm happy that you guys like it. Thank you. It is growing on me too.

One of the automotive greats. I love the work you've done, especially the engine.

[Chuck Most]

Very nice! I absolutely love these cars, but I have no idea why.

They are very nice driving cars, with a few quirks like all cars but nice. I saw one under a hotel canopy in 1976 or so and I had to have one. It took until 1995 but I got it. I think they look very classy.

Yeah, that's a nice touch, using the garage exterior mixed with the interior diorama shots. It gives it more realism, by far.

I wouldn't worry about the paint. It's hardly noticeable.

 Often, cameras show up things, that the naked eye can't see. I sometimes gasp when I see a macro-photo of my work, but everyone else says it looks fine to the eye.
