I like the Moebius Models series of car kits because of their fine and accurate detailing, and their 1954 Hudson Hornet Special is no exception. This kit consists of approximately 150 pieces, molded in grey styrene plastic, including chrome plated, clear red and transparent parts. This model features full detail of the body, interior, chassis, engine and drivetrain, giving the finished model a very realistic appearance. This is not a model kit for beginners however, experienced adult modelers should have no trouble assembling this kit. The illustrated instruction sheet provided is full-color, and gives clear and concise assembly information, with painting details included. Plastic glue and paint (not included) are required to assemble this kit. I did not rate this item as durable because it is intended for display purposes only, and is not a child’s play toy. Scale Model classic car enthusiasts, and especially devotees of the Hudson marque Will really appreciate this model kit. When built with care and patience, it will yield a beautiful and unique addition to their model collection.Read full review

Anyone unfamiliar with Moebius they are a company who are competing in a niche market with a brave straregy. They are offering products that fill gaps in the hobby. All new tooling, attention to fit and detail second to none, Moebius is unmatched in fit and quality. By offering the two cars NASCAR was dominated by in the beginning,Hudson Hornet, Chrysler 300, they grabbed the attention of hobbyists. However most people hoarded and sat on those speculating " collectors item". Well hopefully after various releases of those cars as well as 69-71 F 100 trucks, 61 Pontiac, 65 Plymouth s and now this car hopefully people are opening these and building. The "Special" was an aerodynamic fastback equipped with a 303 Twin H Power 6 and hydromatic, this was a legitimate muscle car. While this kit is a stock version a builder of moderate talent could swap parts easily to do any style custom or drag car. But just built out of the box it is beautiful car. The detailing is crisp, fit excellent. The directions goabove and beyond on how to paint every part to do a perfect replica. A bargain as this type of quaility is usually reserved for higher dollar Japanese kis. Moebius is not content to rebox old molds that have existed for 50 years. They dont take shortcuts like molding one lump into an inducton system or fogging windows leaving areas you have to paint black. No these folks are hobbyists building for hobbyists.

New tool of a classic auto that's probably never been done before. Using components from previous model Hudson cars. Moebius: Thank you for bringing the Hudson car series to 1:25 scale modeling. Old car companies fascinate me.

Another hit by Moebius. For me a long awaited model, was still impressed with the level of details. Only issue is light to no surface texture on some parts, easily forgotten about because of superb crispness of detail engraving on the rest of the car.

This is a well-engineered and beautifully produced kit, much nicer than most of what's being produced today. Crisp detail, no flash, and minimal mold lines and ejection pin marks. Interesting subject matter, too.
