1954 Hudson Hornet Club Coupe

[ModelcarJR]

This one is done! Tamiya Pearl Light Green with a Krylon Ivory top.  Interior is Krylon Hunter Green and Ivory. Nice kit with positive pin and locator holes. The instructions for the chassis are a bit confusing as they are portrayed right side up which means right is left and left is right when you build the chassis downside up. Other than that it is a very nice kit! Lots of chrome aned lots of foil. Thanks for looking! ?

Crisp, clean and neat. Beautiful build. I’m digging that period correct looking paint choice.  I love the lines and looks of those Hudsons. Can’t wait to dig into the ones in my stash.

She's a beauty. Crisp and clean. The color combo fits the period and the car perfectly. The BMF is flawless. Great job. I agree with you on moebius instructions, sometimes they get confusing.

Well done, that's a beauty.

Beautiful job. The colour suits the Hudson shape perfectly. I’m jealous of your BMF skills.

Very nize, that engine bay is a jewel.

Beautiful paint and chrome body trim. Your interior is done in the same fashion, and you really should include a picture of that.  The engine detail looks great.

Thanks, everyone, for your very kind comments!   You can look at my WIP for more detail on this build, including my confusion on the chassis and the interior detail.  Years of building have convinced me that the three most important skills for any auto build are painting, foil, and clean assembly.  You can add cottage industry details like plug wires, etc. but it will not substitute for the three most important skills. I am still working on all three, especially painting. Thanks again, and thanks for looking! ?

[Hi-Po]
