jjsipes Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I have been trying to work on this Hornet ever since it came out. I started with Tamiya Park Green on the body and Tamiya Racing Green on the Roof. Had a pretty good shine on it so I bare-metaled the trim. That took about 2 days to do off and on. This car has a lot of trim on it. I have yet to polish the body any and it has no clear on it. I think it looks good. Then for the interior I started with Testors Light Earth spray for the darker color and Testors Fabric Tan for the lighter color. Once again I wasn't sure aboutthe colors but I think it looks good. Got the chassis pan spray with Dupli-Color Semi Flat black and the frame sprayed with Testors Black Lacquer that has a semi-gloss shine to it. Has great contrast. Hope to have more completed soon. Just after I sprayed and untaped. Body has Bare-metal applied. Just after I untaped interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Cole Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Great start! Great color choices! And a thumbs up on following the correct line on foiling the side trim. I have seen pics of the foil trimmed on the bodyside style line, and not on the top edge of the side spear, as it should be. Looking forward to seeing this one complete!

charlie8575 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Those shades of brown in the interior look about right for the Hornets I've seen over the years. Duly noted. Excellent build on this. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thank you guys for the kind words. Want to try and finish up this weekend and I will snag my wife's camera and snap some pics of it and maybe they will turn out better than the ones with my phone.

Ragnar Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Great colour combo, and great looking foil work. I will be a very nice looking Hudson! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Kron Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Beautiful quality execution that takes advantage of these incredible kits from the small producers (I'm reminded of the Galaxie Limited '48 Chevies) which respond so well to this approach to modeling.
