1952 Hudson Hornet Convertible

This was my first Moebius brand kit. The engine and interior detail are exceptional. I don't normally display my models with the hood open, but hiding the detail of this engine would be an injustice, so I'm making an exception for this one. Unfortunately, several of the decals were sliced into multiple pieces so I could not use them (glove box, cowl label,grille emblem). Additionally, the instructions indicated 1953 grille and hood ornament were included, but those numbers on the sprue were empty so I did not get those parts. I did not care for the instruction sheet. Some of the parts placements were not clear. The parts were grouped on the back page under the appropriate color rather than being listed separately within the instruction sheet. This led to a lot of flipping back and forth to see what color each part was supposed to be painted. Overall I'd give the kit an A-, and the instruction sheet a B-. The detail does drive me to attempt another Moebius though.

This model was well designed and detailed. The parts fit perfectly with very little trim work. I would recommend this to any one. Gife it a two tone look makes this car stand out above the rest. I chose black and a dark burgandy. Enjoy!

If you are new to the hobby of building scale model cars and want to get started right, this is the kit for you! It's got everything - from a fine instruction sheet to parts that really work together. There are lots of ways you can make it your special build - add a sunvisor, carpeting or an antenna for the radio, chrome the trim with foil or airbrush with chrome lacquer. And these things are just what you can do if you want your project to go beyond stock. Either way, you'll have one great looking model of a classic car for your display or to show your friends.
