MATCHBOX 1951 HUDSON HORNET NO27 FERNANDO VALLEY NUWAN FIRE DEPARTMENT 1/64
Its 2019 and Mattel have finally persuaded the American giants of Wal-Mart and Target that they can no longer sell Matchbox at one Dollar each. Now priced at 1.50 that extra profit sees the triumphant return of chrome plastic and full metal bodies.......and then I woke up sadly!
Unpainted grey plastic has now almost completely dominated the MBX line up though annoyingly its corporate brother Hot Wheels has remained largely unaffected. With this in mind I finally bought myself a Molotow liquid silver pen and have begun to re-chrome some Batch M castings which badly need it. Being a novice and not too steady with my hands the results arnt flawless especially when focused on by camera but I can honestly say that when the model is in hand you really dont see them, just wonderful gleaming chrome!
There was no more deserving casting from Case M for the chrome treatment than this 1951 Hudson Hornet which looks totally incomplete with its unpainted grey. All its visible grey has had the Molotow treatment along with its headlights and roof lights. The pen came from Ebay and this of course ASDA. Mint and boxed.
