Is the hood correct?

[Oldcarfan27]

Can anybody help me with this?

Does the twin scoop hood on the Revell 70 Cuda have the correct shape? It looks too "lumpy" to me. The bulges look too big, especially the area between the scoops. 

I'm converting one into a '71 and I'd like to use the hood if it's correct, but I'm not sure. 

MrMopar are you listening?

My personal opinion, after having owned a '74 Barracuda with this hood, is that the one that comes in the Revell '70 kit is not correctly shaped, just as you say above. I do not like that kit hood at all. I would rather use the one from the Revell 1/24 '71 'Cuda Street Machine and cut it down to fit a 1/25 car. Also, there are some available in resin that I also think were mastered from the Revell '71 hood that could be used.

You would need to add in scoop trim to the holes in the scoops of the 1/24 '71 hood for a completely stock build.
