I have a built but not painted MPM version of the kit (sold as a mk.i), it is a pig to wrestle into correct alignment/fit. i think the italeri boxing is the same plastic, and should have the earlier engines. Also a solid nose for making a lodestar.

 

You cannot build a Lodestar by just putting a solid nose on the Hudson. The Lodestar was quite a different aircraft with a longer fuselage, bigger wings and different tailplanes.

If the boxing you have doesn't have the Wright Cyclone/nacelle combination then you're stuck, as I'm unaware of an aftermarket replacement. From recollection, all only offer the Twin Wasps. You need the dedicated Revell or MPM offering.

 

Check out Ced B's build thread and my partially built one. I also have the RAF museum example in or walkaround section - be warned its very non standard and I've picked out the major bear traps.

Sorry, did I mean Lockheed 14?

 

Yes, the solid nose could be used for a Super Electra, aka the Lockheed 14. The Lodestar was the Lockheed 18.

The solid nose comes as an unused option in the Revell Mk. I/II boxing. If I remember correctly there is also a flashed over window aperture by the tail (is that where the loo went in the civvy version?)
