Dave Metzner Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 The Tim Flock Hudson Does contain corrected decals...
horsepower Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Our local shop hasn't even got the kit yet, I can wait though I'm really waiting for the Chrysler.
Bill Eh? Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Dave, does the same or a similar offer extend to kits purchased in Canada?
Dave Metzner Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Tim Flock kit has corrected decals Doesn't matter where the kit was bought- just send us a Self addressed Stamped envelope - we'll send decals back to you in your envelope.. Dave Edited November 19, 2011 by Dave Metzner
carsntrucks4you Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 What about those customer how live overseas? A self stamped envelop is ok, but where can I get US Mail stamps here in Germany?
Edsel-Dan Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I believe you would use "International Reply Coupons" with a return addressed envelope
Lownslow Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 dont know about you guys but ive soaked and scrubbed mine in CSC,Soap and alcohol and im still getting mold release fish eyes in the primer
Aaronw Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I didn't have any trouble with the body (Krylon primer & paint) but the smaller parts which I paint with acrylics have been reluctant to accept paint (the gold on the engine was particularly bad about this).

250 Testa Rossa Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Any word about the Tim Flock version?
Chuck Most Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 FYI- Moebius has fixed the mold issue- so the mold lines on the body won't be as prominent. And Dave posted elsewhere on availability of corrected decals. Buying a couple more of these kits tomorrow!
250 Testa Rossa Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 What happened to the Tim Flock version? Will we ever see it?
Guest Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 had that happen with the firewall , im at the point of soaking it in acetone. Umm, do that my friend and you will remove the plastic as well as the paint. Acetone is a far hotter solvent than laquer thinner, and will easily dissolve the paint and the plastic.

Jon Cole Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 What happened to the Tim Flock version? Will we ever see it? Last I heard, it was scheduled for a December release.
250 Testa Rossa Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 I want it sooo badly! I can't wait to see it!!!

And Dave posted elsewhere on availability of corrected decals. Buying a couple more of these kits tomorrow! I just got done cleaning up and painting a sample of the convertible--and sanding off the mold lines took less that 15-minutes! I also have a sample of the coupe kit that was done pursuant to complaints, and it's the same way. Mold parting lines are a fact of life with injection molded styrene plastic bodies--always have, and always will be--but the bodies I have here now are a testament to the millwrights in the factory--as perfect as perfect gets!

Guest Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 nothing happened? Then it could not have been acetone. Acetone should have melted the plastic.
Chuck Most Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Really looking forward to the Convertible variant- I'm thinking of 'rolling my own' version of the old Rambler visible unibody promo...
Rob Hall Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Those Hudsons had an interesting structure...interesting how the frame rails run on the outside of the rear wheel wells...
Art Anderson Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Those Hudsons had an interesting structure...interesting how the frame rails run on the outside of the rear wheel wells... Actually, there are two sets of frame rails, one outboard as you see in the pic, an another rail on each side, inboard of that. Those bodies were so stoutly built, as well as being completely unitized, that wrecking yards would pretty much refuse to take them for scrapping--as their early, somewhat more primitive crushing equipment simply could not crush a Step-Down Hudson.

Dave Van Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 The Flock Hudson's have landed.....and I have one almost done. Box stock, Dupli-color GM dark blue and aftermarket decals. Thanks
The Creative Explorer Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I just got my first Hudson kit a couple a days ago and when looking eagerly through the box, I found that my chrome is quite dissapointing. It has that AMT from the '70s look to it. Where the bumpers are pretty much ok, the wheels and some other prominent parts look to have dust or sand underneath the chrome-layer. Are there more that have had the same problem?
Dave Van Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 No issues with any of my 12 kits so far.....
