Quelque commentaire de Bill et Len;

Something is about to happen that totally defies all logic! After sixty plus years many of us car-obsessed, model car builders had pretty much crossed a 1/25th scale plastic kit of a step-down 1950s Hudson Hornet off our bucket list. I mean…who was going to spend thousands of dollars to tool-up a nearly forgotten, orphan make that’s been in the automotive graveyard since 1957?

Well, the “breaking news” is that finally our prayers have been answered big-time as Moebius, known around the globe for their high-quality space, fantasy and science fiction plastic model kits, has gone and done the impossible! No more rumors. No more speculation. No more production delays. No more harping, crabbing or complaining. Naysayers, rumor mongers, and trash talkers can take a breather! As we can all see here, the new Moebius 1953 Hudson Hornet two-door coupe is real, relevant and righteous! And this eye candy is just the beginning!

A bit of history
Hudson was an independent American automobile company from its beginnings in 1909 until the end of the 1954 model production year. At that point the legendary street sleeper, perennial NASCAR champ and those Fabulous Hudson Hornets, quietly became part of Nash-Kelvinator, builder of refrigerators and Rambler cars. What passed as a Hudson for the next three years was nothing more than a legendary name attached to a heavily disguised Nash Ambassador.

Over those nearly five decades the company’s name was associated with terms like Essex, Terraplane, Twin-H-Power, 7X, Hornet, Hollywood, Wasp, Super Wasp, Commodore, step-down, Jet and Italia.

Hudson Hornets dominated NASCAR’s Grand National series for four seasons, 1951 through 1954. Hudsons also showed the way in drag racing both IHRA and NHRA. Jack Clifford’s 54 Hornet literally toyed with many a factory-back competitor in the 1960s. Hudsons continued to compete at places like Bonneville late into that decade. And all of this was accomplished on the back of an old, outdated flathead inline 5.0 liter six cylinder engine.

Hudsons were built in both Detroit, Michigan and South Africa.

Follow along with us now as we take a closer look at the Moebius miracle, a 1953 Hudson Hornet plastic kit!

Final comments
There is little to fault to find with this new Moebius 1953 Hudson Hornet 1/25 scale plastic kit. One thing might be…it’s been nearly 62 years. What took ‘em so long? We would point out that this is a well-engineered and rendered kit and as such wouldn’t be something we’d recommend for beginners or as the subject of a first build.

Pros:
Great nostalgic box art
Great four-color instruction sheet
Great paint colors chart
High-level detail/accuracy
Very good fit and alignment
Individually bagged components, tires, decal sheet, clear parts, etc.
Tampo-printed WSW tires
Separate floor pan/unibody sub-frame

Cons:
Twin-H-Power air cleaner decals (no white background)
Some enlargement of mounting hole diameters necessary
Cannot close hood with hinges and braces installed

Things we might like to have seen:
Separate door handles
Separate bumper guards
Side door glass
Two hoods (one with hardware-one without)

We'd like to thank Tom Carter for allowing us a place to share this with you, and to everyone at Moebius Models for their co-operation with this project. Watch for a more in-depth build and review coming soon!

Thanks to all,
