rsmodels Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 This was a built kit that I took apart, stripped, and restored as needed. I used the kit tires and hubcaps instead of changing to larger tires as I usually do on these Hubley Fords. These hubcaps are the same as the ones used on the 13 inch 1:1 62 Fairlane wheels. I don't think they were made in the larger size for the full size cars. I liked the looks of these but have a set of Modelhaus 62 Galaxie hubcaps to use on the next 62 wagon I build. Please feel free to comment, I appreciate all, good or bad. Thank you for looking. -Rich My 60 Plymouth wagon will probably be next up. 5
bisc63 Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 What a great looking wagon. I like these Hubley kits.
David G. Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 Nicely Done! My Dad had a '63 sedan in silver like this one.
espo Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 Another beautifully done Hubbly. I like the paint colors used.
Bainford Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 Nice re-build, and a good looking wagon. I've been intrigued by these Hubley Ford wagons for some time, and keep my eye out for one. I see lots or promos on the bay, but usually warped badly. The kits seem less common.
TooOld Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 Well done Rich ! Personally I like those hubcaps on it !
oldscool Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 Had no idea those old Hubley kits could look that good.

Yes, these kits are less common. I think the 60 is the easiest to find, frollowed by the 61 and then the 62. -Rich
