Roadrunner Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Do any of the 1:24 or 1:25 'Cuda kits, have the louvers for the back window included? Also, would the louvers (if I can find any in a 'Cuda model), also fit the Challenger?Thanks a bunch,
Classicgas Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Revellograms 71 has a set. Don't think they'll fit on the challenger tho, different glass.
dragcarz Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Monogram first issue Hemi Cuba had them and Lee is correct, rear windows are completely different.
dieseldog1970 Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I thought I seen an article in another model magazine where they used the louvers from the '71 on a build of the new '70? I am thinking it was Tim Boyd, but I could be wrong....two "Cudas were built....copper and a yellow one.
1972coronet Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Whatever you do , don't put Pennsylvania licence plates on it ! Hahahaha .The ancient Monogram 1971 Hemi'Cuda hardtop has the backlite louvers . The Challenger's backlite was quite a bit different from its Barracuda relative .
Roadrunner Posted September 20, 2017 Author Posted September 20, 2017 OK, thanks a bunch for the great answers, fellas. I checked my Revell '71 kit, and indeed the louver is there but doesn't seem to fit all that well on the '70, so I probably will not use it. It probably sounds lame, but I will not be foiling the window trim on my 1970 Hemi 'Cuda, and I was hoping to cover up the back window, so that it won't be quite so noticeable that it has no chrome trim.
