Nice, I can agree with one post above.. i have 2 1/16 kits and 1/18 parts looks way to small. Tried with allot of 1/18 wheels and tires but all are to small. But i used some 1/18 "18 wheels in a 1/16 "16 tire and that looked ok. I guess the petty charger is a source for parts as well as 3D printing.

Nice projects! Will be folowing!

Great work there! Weathering makes it come alive!

Beautifull build!

Aha! I see! so it just the 'Cuda that have fender grills? I understod though that it was the newer revell tool since you di't have those there becuase not may would remove them on the 1/24 kit. I realy like your work on it! And hope to see it finished some day ?

Nice builds! Is the '71 based on the newer tool '70 cuda or the old tool? Edit: noticed the fenders so thats a '70 being converted right? Is it a 3d printed grill on there?

I jus had to get this one. Sealed for 54$ inc shipping. Not much for sealed kits so if anyone have one to trade that is complete body wise, since I don’t care for any other parts in it, but opened I can be open for such a trade. If no one have one to trade this one will be opened ?

Great progress as always!

Since I am a libra things might change back and forward some times.. this happened to the engine now. I have decided to go with LS power in stead! But i will make a new better looking intake so the LS looks better. Will also do something about the boring LS valve covers. I have also been thinking of the front end, to swap in a C5 corvette.. but not sure. would be more in line with the Bostic impala to go with the "stock" front end.

I am no expert in any body style and to me both the revel ‘69 Camaro and ‘70 Cuda looks the part. I have heard things about trim issues and sow on, I am just glad it builds in to a nice model of the cars without way to much hassle as I feel there is with the ‘71 Cuda and many other amt, monogram, Revel and Mpc kits. One thing I can’t get in to my head is how the newer tooled kits from the revel brand can have so many problems with fitment in comparison to their Japanese counterparts. Have not tried anything newer from Revell than 2000ish though. Any how thanks for al the input in this matter!

Great progress! Looking forward to this and I know you wilL make it great!

Nice buil!

Wow! Looks stunning! What do you use for cutting your styrene stock?

Nice! Does that kit have engine? I thought it was only Tamiya that had engine.

Beautiful!

I just wanted to promote to vote for your favorite build in the CBR thread!! thanks every one!

X3, how hard can it be since they have the 1970?

Beautifull! Loves the stance!

It’s strange but I guess they wanted the engine to really fill the bay. How is it with the engine in the top of my stack, LT5 from Monogram? it seemed to be about the same size as the one found in the AMT kit but much bigger than a LS.

Nice that one is on my list for the future. Probably not next year. Have some Tamiya kits I wanna get first.

This looks good right. :

Ok, so i create this content mostly because i am confused. When building my 1971 Cuda and wanted to swap some other parts to it from other kits i noticed that the Cuda engine is huge. Had to do a comparison on my different available Hemi Engines. From the top #1 Chevy LT5 1/24 as refference. #2 2JZ inline 6 tamiya 1/24 as refference. #3 What i found in my 1971 Cuda kit. 1/24 scale #4 1/24 F/C revell Nitro methanol Hemi #5 Parts box 426 with manual gear box, this engine is most likley from 1/25 1967 revell Charger. Engine L Head L Gearbox L Cuda. 28mm 25,8mm 32,8mm FC Hemi. 23,1mm 22,4mm Revell 1/25. 22,6mm 21,7mm 35,5mm Doing the scale math on the 1/25 revell engine wich i belive to be quite accurate since the kit came out in 2000. A Heami cylinder head should have a length around 542,5mm wich in 24 scale would be 22,6mm wich is close to what the FC Hemi has so far so good. But then the cuda engine is 3,4mm longer, that would be 81mm in 1:1! This makes me come to the conclusion that the Cuda engine actualy is in 1:21 scale. Body wise seems ok being a 1/24. Whats your thoughts on this topic? I will proabobly end up putting the Revell engine in it since it in my opinion looks more right than the original engine. Best regards Anton

Thats killer!

Came out great! A really good work on that beaten up body!

Beautifull build! I have never seen a 1972 in person but it looks very different to the 71 grill wise reffering to your photos. Definitly like the 1971 grill more. Btw, would be posible to CAD the grill you like and print it. If you have measurements of the model and pictures, straight on, side and sow on i could proaboly help.
