This was finished in early 2013. It was built from an excellent Moebius Models kit and other than some added detailing in the engine bay, this was built pretty much Box Stock. The kit went together really well and as far as I remember, there were no big problems during the assembly. It's painted with Maston spray paints, clear coated and polished. This one needed a lot of BMF for sure! There isn't really much to tell you about, just a simple build with no big modifications.

Thanks for the kind words, they're much appreciated!

The kit went together very well and it was a lot of fun to build. Only thing I'm not happy with though, is that hood that doesn't line up perfectly with body shapes. It was originally such a tight fit that after paint and clear coat, it didn't fit properly anymore. Well, now I now what to look out for on my next Hudson.

Yep, the box art kind of made me want to paint it this color. Actually I've always liked a lot when Hudson is white & blue. But that beautiful box art made it easy to do the final decision.

It's interesting to see how your Hudson turns out as your builds are always very nice and this is a great kit. Thanks for the kind words.

It's true that these are beautiful cars, but unfortunately they're quite rare. I've seen only a couple of them here in Finland, too.

I have not built a Moebius kit yet. I have heard they are nice kits. Beautiful engine work.

I have built Moebius '55 Chrysler (Tim Flock Stock Car) and that was another excellent kit. I can't wait to get that '65 Plymouth and Ford Pickups on my hands!
