Copper ext with copper interior looks pretty good as well ( friend of mine had a 1967 Coronet in that exact color combination ) -

Why do you build models?
gtx6970 replied to clovis's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Simple, I'm a gear head , always have been and always will be ( it's in my genes ) I like cars,,,,, especially drag cars of my youth . And I can't afford to own the fullsize versions( at least not all of them ) so 1/25th scale will simply,,,,,,,,,,,,,have to suffice. -
One of my favorites from the era. looks pretty good.

1/25 Revell '70 Plymouth HEMI 'Cuda 2'n1
gtx6970 replied to MachinistMark's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I gotta agree here. Having been around mopars all my life. And just recently did a ground up restoration on a 1970 Hemi Cuda . The biggest complaint I have with the revell kit is too pronounced wheel lips ( they look too much like wheel flairs ) , weak tail light surround moulding ( easily recitied with strip stryene ,,not that I think I should have to on a new tool kit ) and the contorted body line above the rear wheel lips. ( not an easy fix imo ) Am I so dis-appointed with it that I'll send them back and hord my original MPC issues ? No But I am glad I hung on to my MPC issues Oddly enough,, no one has mentioned the windshield washer reservoir ( white plastic piece in the lower left corner of the engine compartment ) is incorrect for a 1970 E body. 1970 E bodies it whould be pretty square on top ,not have the rounded corner. Sorry, everyone is picking on this kit and being a life long die hard mopar nut I had to mention it,, as in the 1/1 world this would be considered blasphemey . -
2014 Revell 2nd Quarter Kit Announcements
gtx6970 replied to gasman's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Probably more a case of when in the season....Plus I would be surprised if there was only the one car for the 1970 season every pic I've seen of the restored car it has a ft rubber bumper. I'll have to look thru my files and see if I can find one of back in the day where it shows it with a rubber bumper -

Anyone able to confirm or deny if the Sox - Martin Cuda will have the six pack hood on it or not. ? I have one done to fit the original MPC body and would rather not modify it to fit the new revell body -

What model was your favorite build?
gtx6970 replied to clovis's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Even though I have several I really like and am proud of, this one is hands down my personal favorite, bar none. Original Issue MPC kit. But straight out of the box. I bought/built one of these new back in the day and lost it in a house fire back in the mid 70's . So when the opportunity presented itself to get a started kit a few years ago, I grabbed it and finished it( SO much better than the one back in the day was i might add) -
Actually it's not that hard of a conversion to do . I have this one on the shelf to do a 1968 Hemi Cuda Mule car ,,someday If I remember right , I cut it right in ft of the rear spring hanger torque boxes and took maybe an 1/8"-3/16" out of it . Then narrowed it behind the rear wheel wells
