54 Hudson build-up

[Dave Metzner]

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

Very nice,

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

Dave, that is one sweet looking model. It will wind up in my TO DO pile for sure.

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.

Beautiful build, Dave. Another home run kit!

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

[John Goschke]

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.

[S. Svendsen]

Thumbs up!

[Guest]

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

[bbowser]

Wow, another "must-have" for the pile. Great looking model.

[crazyjim]

Sweet & SHINY :)

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.
