Nice review, Rowan. I have the Moebius 1953 Hudson Hornet that I intend to build up a Doc (who was a 1951). This review really helped. Thanks.

Cheers Jim

I'm really pleased with the kit and definitely tempted to try some other Moebius Models cars.

All the best

The only Moebius kit I have built is the 2011 International LoneStar, and that was a very nice kit.


I have the ProStar & the Hornet in the stash, and am looking forward to building them. I've heard good things about their pickup kits, too.

Hi again

Wow! That's awesome! I've got to admit, I'm seriously tempted to try a truck. They were really popular when I got properly into modelling in the 1970s, but I've never built one. It's the same with dragsters - there were so many kits available back then, but I never got one. Nowadays, they seem to be less popular and harder to find - I don't think I've even seen one on the shelves in my LHS in the last 20+ years...

All the best

Great review Rowan, a beautiful looking kit of a classic vehicle! I have seen a lot of good reviews and builds of the Moebius products, and I'm sure one will land in my stash at some stage soon.
