Jeepster813 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hello Everyone,I have a situation that I've run into, and I need some serious help. LOL. My folks own a 1972 Plymouth Barracuda that, after many years, is almost entirely restored ALL original as if it came straight from the factory. I cannot wait to see it all finished after about 15 years of waiting. LOL. As a small token to my folks I wanted to make them an identical version of their car; however, finding a model kit for their 72 Cuda is coming up short. All I have on hand is the recent Revell 1971 Revell Muscle Hemi Cuda 1/24 scale. I know the front grill/bumpers are different as well as the side little grill areas on the quarter panel. I am looking for anyone that can assist me in making them a 1972 340 Plymouth Barracuda model of their car that they will love and display proudly. Parts, suggestions, offers, trades, or any other tidbits are welcome. Looking not to pay a fortune as I see some of these things can get quite pricey. Thank you for taking the time to read/making any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollySipper Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 If you wanted to go full detail, Revell in the past couple years released a 1/25 Hemi Cuda...... You could combine it with the AMT snap cuda, and for the engine, AMT made a 340 Duster you could use.......... Model Roundup carries all three of these kits.....
