This is a Mobius model. They seem to be a lot crisper than an AMT or MPC model.

thats come up really well John. You've mastered BFM on the window trim. I still can't get it right, I mostly resort to the chrome pen. You are 100% right about Mobius models being superior to AMT/MPC. They make some great late 40s early 50s Hudsons, that I've had a go at. And you sent me off on a chase to see what else they may have available. These 2 are definitely on my list:

And how about this as a pair to the Danbury Mint 1967 Plymouth GTX Hardtop? Thanks for posting your pics. Love seeing other modelers works.

Geoff, thanks for the kind words.  Just to let you know the chrome is done with a pen and not BMF.  I never have tried BMF.  My hands are still pretty steady so I just use pens.  I built a 1980 Monte Carlo with a Motorcycle trailer awhile back.  I need to get the Satellite.

@carsman1958 love the Monte Carlo and trailer John. Can I ask what chrome pen u use please? As mentioned to my eye it comes up as good as BMF, and appears much better than the ones I'm using.

I have never heard of this model brand.....must never have been available in Canada.  Are you familiar with this brand David G?

@geoff-jowett Geoff:  Not sure of the brand.  The pen just says Liquid Chrome and I purchased it at Hobby Lobby.  It is a 2 sided pen with a 0.8 tip on one end and a 3.0 tip on the other.
