These are cool looking cars and I'm glad that Moebius did a great job creating this kit.

Outstanding video.! Working on mine now. Extremely helpful as how parts really fit. Do you glue your wheels so they don't spin ?
Mark, Yes I do. I don't want them to roll off the table! Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already, to help us inspire more modelers! -Doug
What shade of red did you use for the engine????
JM, That was simply Testors 1103 enamel red! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas thanks
Os carros antigos são os mais lindos mesmo.
Vintage cars are the most beautiful ^^
What do you use for paints? I just bought this model and basic tools but, not sure on paints. Can's, airbrush? Can you please advise? I'm very confused on the paint options. Thank you, Dana
Dana, Yes and yes, if you get proficient you can use either. One thing though, spray can paint is thicker and only comes in the color that's in the can. You'll lose some detail on you're model like script lettering there. Air brushing has the advantages of allowing you to control the thickness and mixing colors for the perfect match. All of that of course, takes some practice. -PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
That model is not correct in several ways. The interior furnished is from a Hornet and not the lower priced Hornet Special. So the seats and dash are incorrect. The Hornet Special used the interior of the Hudson Super Wasp. The suggested colors of the interior are not at all correct. If you have owned the real cars you see the errors.

I have built this kit, as you know Moebius kits are top of the line good job Doug!
Dino, thanks for watching! -Doug
That's a nice looking Hornet! Thanks for the tips.
What happened to the white wall tires? On the box it has some wide l95Os white walls.
Jennifer, Back in '54 w/w were an option. I chose not to use them for this build! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
The emblem in the center of the hub caps needs to be painted.

Good review as always. I got the 1/25th scale Mobius Model 1954 Hudson Club Coupe in Red for Christmas. Looking forward to it.
SB,, Sounds like fun! -Doug
Nice flocking. The way i do it is to paint the floor pan in the color of the flock, then, while the paint is wet, I pour the flocking on it. The paint will dry with the flocking stuck in.
MH, Thanks for the tip! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas No problems. i find that by doing it like that, you don't get any "Transparent" spots where you can see right through the flock. I do a lot of Games Workshop - Warhammer bases and I have seen people put white glue on black plastic and then use scenic grass...it always has a transparent "Stuck On" look, whereas painting, even if there's a bald spot, looks correct.
Thats an amazingly beautiful craft Doug..!! Excellent..!
Thank you RK, that's very nice of you to say! -Doug
Wow! Beautiful. Is that particular model still available? Have you ever noticed how the Hudson and Chevy favor? What do you think the ships meant on the mats? Great job on detail, paint, foil & interior. I worked for hours trying to outline 1 window with foil with no success. I gave up for a toothpick and magnifying glass.
IW, Don't know what those ships meant but I do know you're on the right rack when you resorted to using what works for you! -Doug
Hello, I remember seeing this in Amazon. If you want search for Hudson Hornet model kit, and try to look for the one like the thumbnail of this video and you may find it.
Fantastic build.have to add this one to my stash. Thanks for all the great reviews.peace
Tim, you'll enjoy it! -Doug
Working on this kit now. Great kit.

@@RightOnReplicas I subbed a looooooooong time ago!
TI, Thanks dude! -Doug
Twin H Power! Thank you for the review. I am looking for model kits to add to my hobby shop and these are ones I haven't reviewed yet! :D - Now it's my turn to come to you for a review! :D
MH, Thanks for the vote of confidence! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas Well, i am looking to get some really top-notch model car kits in the store and the last thing I want to do is stock my shelves with the MPC 1967 GTO, if you know what I mean. I don't want customers to come in and tell me they hate AMT or something because of the selection.
MH, I know exactly what you mean but you'll soon find you can't please everyone! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas I've been in the business for 16 years this summer (July 4 2004 - 2020) I know that one! :D
Sorry if you mentioned but what colour did you use on the body and how many coats? First time builder trying to get good at the craft!
CH, On this one 2 mist coats of paint were applied and after 20 minutes 3 medium-wet coats of color shot through an airbrush. Next day a mist coat of clear followed by 2 wet coats of 2 part auto clear was used for gloss! -Doug
Another beautiful build Doug 👍
Thanks J! -Doug
Your engine bay and interior detail and color contrast are amazing! Well done!
LLG, thanks, you da man! -Doug
Great looking hudson and paint job.
SC - Thanks, we tried to capture the essence of those fifties colors with a modern hue!
Right On Replicas I'd love to have that engine in a slightly bigger scale ,just for display on a nice stand! Gotta be the coolest looking straight 6 with those two canister air cleaner! Just cool!
squach623 !!!!! I love a good strait six, my favorite being the stovebolt :)
Beautiful work
Thanks Gary, I hope you like the review too!

Nicely done. But, I always hated those taillights. The look like someone stood across the room and threw them onto the body. Hudson should have set them into the body recessed, or ran a chrome peace up from the backup lights to meet the bottom of the assembly. They just stick out from the body like an afterthought.
Thanks Neil - That's what customs are all about! -Doug
I love the tail lights, having owned five1954 Hudsons, including a `54 SW Cvt. The `54 Hornet Specials had either green or blue houndstooth seat inserts and door panels. The solid broadcloth with contrasting bolsters came in Hornets and vinyl came in Hollywoods and leather in convertibles. Glad you now finally get `54 Hudson models and diecast cars.
Clark - Thanks for the detailed information. Good to know! -Doug
Clarkecars Don't you think they are awkward? I mean they just stick out from the body. I always thought it looked like a missing part was gone. Had they ran a chrome bar up from the backup lights, it would have looked more cohesive. Similar to the 54-55 Willys Aero. If you take it's chrome away, it would look like a 54 Hudson.
Now if I thought that, I'd want to build my kit that way. I've built a couple of models where I "corrected" some small details I didn't like. Not so much that it looked like a show car - I cut the bottom spoke out of the steering wheel of a '55 Chevrolet kit because I wanted it to be a 2lO instead of a Bel Air.
On to the taillights, I agree with you. I had a '69 Cadillac with exposed taillight lenses that completed the top of the tailfins and they were easily broken & expensive to replace. One time a grocery boy broke one of them just trying to put something heavy in the trunk.
Nice but film will be much better than pictures and please not too much bla bla bla
NNN, Thanks for your suggestion! -Doug
