Here are a few shots of the '54 Hudson Hornet coupe test shot I just finished.

This is for box art and instruction sheet photos.. Should have third and I hope final test shot in hand in about 3 weeks - Would be really happy if box and instructions are all done and approved by then

Beautiful!! Can't wait for this one to come out!! Somehow, I was under the impression that this kit was going to be the hardtop version rather than the coupe. Maybe that one's coming next? :) Steve

Mr. Guthmiller, thought this was going to a hardtop? Known as a Hollywood hardtop in Hudson terminology. I was under the impression this going to be a long roof 2-door club sedan, rather than a short roof 2-door club coupe. Though I do like the club coupe better than the club sedan. I knew it was not going to a Hollywood, but I wish it was. In '54 the Hollywood looked better with the minor redesign bodies, than the club coupe. In '53 it was the other way around.

There is a Special Club sedan test shot waiting bare metal foil on my bench - may get around to that in thenext few days.. the Coupe is the first release - Sedan to follow. No Hollywood @ this time.

"@ this time" is good enough for me! :) Or a convertible with an uptop would be nice! Steve

Looks great!

It's a testament to how far ahead of its time was the '48 Hudson that with a relatively mild restyle the same basic design could look so contemporary in 1954.

Just beautiful! Now Möbius, how about a 49 Hudson?

For an average to experienced builder, I think it's great. But I don't think this is up to your usual standard, based on your always superb work in the past. Some rough-looking, rippled foil work, and a bit of orange peel on the black paint. I get the feeling this may have been rushed a bit.
