The first thing is to get rid of are those 'flared' wheel wells. To much 'lip' on them which the 1:1 did not have. Also, I'd like to see them move the body crease up by just a hair, and lower the door sill line just a teeny bit. At least that's the changes I'd make to the kit I have if I ever get the ambition to build it! Before the "new" Cuda appeared, I was working on correcting their second issue AAR and I think it was looking better than the new one. I"ll buy the new kit just for the hood and the decals, as the second-issue kit decals won't fit my altered body as I substantially changed the height/contours of the rear fenders.
dbostream Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) So the Land Rover is the only new tool or could there be surprises later on? That is kind of disappointing. I hope the US releases are more exciting. Edited January 1, 2019 by dbostream

That was the main thing that stuck out to me when Revell 'redid' the 'Cuda. It's rear end was still too big, so if you fixed that, I know it goes a long way in making that car look so much better. There was something about the C pillar that was a bit off to me also.........like it was too short or something, but not overly terrible. Still not as egregious as those in your face hind quarters.

I sliced the back off the roof and moved it back about 1/8" or something. These two pics will show what I did with the top line of the quarters. Next move is to correct the lower rear quarters, behind the wheels. This is as far as I got with it in 2010 before I lost interest.
Rob Hall Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 I got the 'Revell Novelties 2019' email this morning w/ their 2019 flyer. The AAR Cuda is shown as an illustration in purple, and for the Land Rover they have a pic of 1:1 109 Series III 4dr. The email links to this page: https://www.revell-news.de/display.php?M=226393&C=4c148a3da33b289d7cb5a76a76d7a796&S=856&L=36&N=445
bbowser Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 That tractor is a must! I guess I'm channeling my inner farmer
MrObsessive Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Aaaaah! Now that looks sooooo much better! How come Revell couldn't see before this hit the streets that this still wasn't right?? Now I like Ed Sexton as I've met him a number of times over the years, but back when this was intro'd (2007-08??) I had mentioned to him at the NNL East that the shape still wasn't quite right. I had taken a number of pics of the test shot as it sat on the table at the show. Ed shook his head and said something like "Oh well, this is what we got". Of course, I never bought it but at least they finally got it (mostly) right with the latest version. Just a few tweaks here and there and the current one would be 'bout perfect.
MrObsessive Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 One can only hope they made the previously mentioned corrections. We'll see soon enough, but I'm a bit pessimistic they'll do so. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.

Not being my area of expertise, is there anything about making the current kit into an AAR that would require them to tweak the body cavity mold (eg new side inserts)? From a quick glance it seems like the differences would all be covered with engine, hood, etc inserts leaving the body to soldier on unchanged.
