The Hudson Hornet with its “Twin H Power” and step down design chassis was the car to beat in NASCAR competition back in the early 50’s and now Model King has reproduced the one that Tim Flock drove to the championship in 1952 for us to build. I sat down to give it a go recently and here is what I found. My overall impressions of this kit are quite positive. This is a nicely engineered kit of a new and interesting subject that does require some care and patience but will reward your efforts.

 For the Modeler: – Overall most hobbyists find the new Moebius/Model King kits are really nice builds with modern tooling; but no kit is perfect. Construction modifications to contact points, use of washes, wheel assembly tips, section fillers, filling unneeded mounting points and body features, detailing the exhaust tips, a driveshaft procedure, radiator fit adjustments, window removal and color selections are all fully discussed in this extensive review.

 This model is an award winner already having taken a bronze medal at the annual Mid-Michigan Model Makers Contest. Only a few days later this model recieved  a first place box stock award at the Rickenbaker Club Contest in Columbus Ohio!
