Revell ‘71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda

[nickfzr61]

Finished up my build of the Revell 71 Hemi Cuda. Built pretty much out of box except for the antenna. Hood pin straps, and headlight trim rings to close of the big gap between the headlights. Also added a transmission tunnel since it was missing. Just glued a piece of styrene and smoothed with putty. 
      I molded in the joint lines for the lower front fenders and removed the cartoonish stalks on the fog lights. Also removed the front license plate bracket. 
I dowloaded and printed a set of steelies and Goodyear Polyglas GT tires and wheels for $3.50. 
     Color is Dupli-Color BGM0533. It’s a GM color but I felt it mached B5 closest. I test shot Dupli-Color BCC0422 which is a Chrysler color that supposedly matches B5 but it was too dark. Also tried Tamiya TS-19 but that was also too dark. Cleared with Dupli-Color 1K Clear. Polished with Hasegawa Ceramic Compound then Coating Polymer. 
    Chrome is Alclad Polished Aluminum. 

Hope you like it.

Beautiful smooth paint finish and this shade of Blue looks fantastic. Clean body trim and the side boards. like the chassis detailing.

That's beautiful! Excellent detail work (I especially love the radio antenna) and color choice.
