Mopar - D Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 This is the RoG release of the AAR Cuda kit. I’m going with Plum Crazy Purple with the black and white interior. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Can't go wrong with this color on any MoPar. I always liked the Hood Scoop they used on this model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelcarJR Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Hey, Dan! I built this one about two years ago. Its a nice kit but I was a little disappointed with the position of the rear wheels. I should have (and may still) shorten the driveshaft and front of the springs to move the rear wheels forward. I think I also forgot to thin down the wheel opening flares. Here's a photo so you can see the rear wheel position. Good luck with your build! 😎 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanMuscleFan Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Nice project Dan! One of my all-time favorites, another one I'd like to build one of these days, but maybe with some added drag racing components...! I can't wait to see your impressions of the kit, despite the negative comments on the rear fenders it seems to be a very nice and detailed kit. You can't go wrong with Plum Crazy, one of the most beautiful colors in the High Impact line according to my taste of course! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s the before and after bodies. (Left one is sanded) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C. Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) I still haven't finished my T/A Challenger. It's already painted in that FJ5 green. Now I need to apply the decals, Paint the engine and detail the Rallyes before I put them on. Edited July 19, 2022 by Mike C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked on the front grill it seems like Revell didn’t add the chrome trim in the grill that the AAR’s had so I’ve added some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why they put those on the body, there is nothing on the real car that sticks out that much. I've worked on two of these kits and had to sand down those shelving units before I did anything else! I love these cars (who doesn't?) and can't wait to see yours come along.
