Black Beauty from 1960's Green Hornet

[Marko Nykänen]

Polar Lights 1/32 model kit. Wasn't very nice kit to build and fix the problems, but I took pretty much straight forward approach to this. Fix the issues which are easy enough to fix and forget the rest. Wheels are what they are, not much to do there, they are just bad. I sanded the dashboard flat and added some evergreen/plastruct strips for chrome trims. Replaced the rockets, made the front grille from styrene strips and headlights are also replaced with aftermarket ones. Shape of the sidepanels at the rear wasn't even close the real one, so had to modify them too. Vinyl roof is "adhesive cloth for seat" from MFH. Interior didn't get any additional detailing, some chrome paint here and there.

Nice job, Narko, looks great!  Currently I'm trying to rebuild The Black Beauty from the 2011 movie in 1:24. I hope it will come out that good...

Nicely done!

Looks great. I've always loved that car.

Nicely done.   Too bad there appears to never  have been a  1/25 kit as far as I can remember.

A big resin caster said a few years ago  he was looking to do this in 1/25.....but must have changed his mind.
