KevinJarvis Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I've had this for ever. Not sure what it was right out of the box. Please notice the windshield is blue, yes blue. Thanks for any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroNitro Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 It is the same chassis and body as the snake mongoose kit but it had a clear windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Looks like an old Monogram 24th scale funny car model. George, you hit the nail on the head!! I just looked at the DPMMC Instruction site, and I found this one: http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/instruction_sheetsh/instruction_sheets/monogram-3/monogram-the-snake-/ Even though it is not the samee issue, it is the same kit. If you look at the fourth pic of the side of the box, while it says the body was molded in yellow, the windshield was molded in BLUE!

disabled modeler Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Its for sure a Monogram Cuda funny car but cant remember what issue had the blue tinted glass??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinJarvis Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks to everyone who replied. I thought it might have been the old Snake kit as my brother and I had them all. I just couldn't remember it having the blue windshield, which now seems sort of strange. I was tempted to re-decal it into something else but I think I'll stick with the original now. Thanks again, KJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepperdrumstix Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 This could be an older MPC kit of a Cuda drag racer. I have the street machine version of this kit--#1-0807 made by Fundimensions 1980 and it is the same color blue plastic. The windshield in my street machine kit is a dark color, almost a black tint. The Hemi motor has a blower and injector hat all in chrome. It had the stock interior and frame. Hope this helps. Patrick Mitchell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinJarvis Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) I should have also stated that underneath the blue, that I brushed on, the body is molded yellow. I'm sure now it's the Snake F/C. Now to get to work. Where oh where do I start? Edit: And I just found a thread that states the decals for this yellow car are not in production. That's going to make it tough. :-) Edited April 19, 2011 by KevinJarvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancheroSteve Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Here's what The Snake Barracuda looks like built: The body of this one came from a trashed kit I had built as a kid and the chassis from the "Cop Out" Duster kit. I picked up the aftermarket decals at a show. Looking closely I see that windows are tinted blue. The Snake kit had a blower hat, the Mongoose kit had the injectors, I believe.

Kevin, if you have the ability to make your own decals on your printer, or can find someone that can make them for you, there is a scan of the Snake decals in the link I posted earlier in the thread.
