Moebius Models 1219:
1/25 1954 Hudson Hornet Special
The Moebius Models 1219 assembly kit brings an incredibly unique piece of automotive history to your workbench: the 1954 Hudson Hornet Special. Released during Hudson's final year of independent production before merging into AMC, the "Special" was a lower-priced, slightly stripped-down variant designed to give buyers luxury performance at a more accessible price point.
This 1/25 scale kit features pristine, modern tooling that completely eliminates the alignment issues and heavy flash typical of vintage model molds.
Kit Features & High-Fidelity Details
Authentic "Step-Down" Structural Frame: Accurately duplicates Hudson's signature dropped floorpan chassis, capturing the revolutionary low center of gravity that defined the brand's engineering.
Intricate Twin H-Power Engine: Includes a highly detailed, multi-piece replica of the iconic 308 cubic-inch straight-six engine, complete with dual carburetors, accurate manifold plumbing, and distinct oil bath air cleaners.
1954 Restyled Bodywork: Flawlessly replicates the updated look for the 1954 model year, featuring a squared-off silhouette, a updated functional hood scoop, a one-piece curved windshield, and a redesigned rear layout.
Simplified "Special" Trim: Meticulously captures the unique, scaled-back exterior side chrome trim and specific interior appointments that distinguished the Special from the standard luxury Hornet.
Premium Scale Master Decals: Includes crisp water-slide decals featuring factory-accurate external script badges, dashboard instrument graphics, and under-hood engine labels.
