1971 Plymouth Cuda (1/25 MPC Kit)

[drodg]

This is impressive.   Maybe Revell will take note and bring out a 71 for the rest of us who do not have your incredible talent!

[Mopar - D]

Thanks David, yeah it would definitely be nice if Revell would. 
 

Here’s just a test fit to see how the interior lines up and that the wheels are aligned with the body.

Great looking interior, Dan!   Nice test how are the wheel  ? lining up?

[Mopar - D]

Thanks Carl, the wheels are lining up nicely as I had hoped for.  

[Mopar - D]

Hot humid Texas weather has been making my paint on the Cuda’s body take longer than I I like to get it nice and shiny. I’m hoping for maybe today or tomorrow to get it all buffed out. I’m still waiting for my Hobby lobby to reopen to pick up a new Molotow chrome pen. As of yesterday they were still with out power from the hurricane.

I’m felling the heat and trying to step out to paint and primer ..   I know you will get the Cuda looking sweet Dan..

Great looking build and detail work.

[Mopar - D]

Thanks Carl and Kyle,

I was able to buff out the paint on add some Molotow liquid chrome on the trim. I need to go back and clean up a couple places.

Thanks Jeff, yeah it’s definitely good to be back at the bench I missed it but between going back to work and getting married I only had a little free time. 

[Mopar - D]

Continuing to work on the details. 

[Mopar - D]

I have the interior and chassis in the body now. Still have to work on the bumpers and finish up on a couple of other items. 

[slusher]

Beautiful paint and finish Dan!

[Mopar - D]

Thanks Carl 

Added a few more details to the engine bay and interior. Getting closer to finishing it up.

Here’s a note in the instructions for the hood and air scoops

Those under hood photos are off the charts, especially the decals on the heater hoses
