Ryansrust6 Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Hey y’all I bought this kit mostly finished I only add a few of my own touches I think it’s to nice so I’ll have to show it. Not sure who built it but they did a good job cheers to them. Thanks Ryan
espo Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 I like that it still has what looks like the stock Studebaker engine. Nice paint and clean looking trim. The black painted wheels and wide whites put it in the late '50's depending on where you lived. Have you thought about small hub caps or are you going to stay with the 6 lug wheels ? Very good overall look as is.
christian-w Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Love it! I like Studebakers. The combination with those tires / rims and the lowering looks fantastic. Is the engine out of the box? I can't remember mine is looking so good.
Koellefornia Kid Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Nice! Though it´s stock, the black steelies and wide whites adds a mild custom attitude
Lunajammer Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 It appears to be lowered a bit too. Definitely, let it out to be seen.
Classicgas Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 That is really sweet. Now I'm inspired to get mine out and start it.

You can achieve the look of the Baby Moon Hub Caps with the head of furniture nails. They come in different sizes and you may want to cut off the nail part, or use it to mounting it to the wheel. I use the ones called Smooth-Nickel finish as it looks much like chrome in scale and not overly shiny like a plated plastic part usually is. I think I got mine at Jo Anns Fabrics and there is 25 in a small plastic container. Very inexpensive and I have found some great tools and other objects for detailing models in their Jewelry department.
Bainford Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 I'm digging the style of this build. The colour is right on, and the steelies are perfect.
Phildaupho Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Such a good looking car. What a timeless design and a very nice model.
