northendmetalallstar Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Sweet job on the engine detail. I've just gotten into model cars as of late and I also hope to achieve that level of detail and cleanliness someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) AMAZING! I '70 Cuda looks better than '71, so big points from this year model. Paintjob looks great and color is nice. Engine detailing looks good, I like specially that Mopar battery. Tires and wheels are looking real. Nice model, you have lots of talents.

Prime Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Excellent model. Question, what color/brand did u use for the center wheel hub and where can find those awesome tire decals. I have been to several model hobby expos, no luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 VERY nice, clean build! Yes I agree the engine compartment looks REAL good! GREAT color on it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehansen Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Excellent job, ditto on the engine detail. I too like the 70 Hemicuda best of all. Where did you get the decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to several model hobby expos, no luck! Thanks William. This is an older build so I'm not sure, but I think it's Model Master Aluminum with some dullcote over the top. The tire decals are dry transfers by Shabo which may now be defunct. I do see NOS stuff of theirs from time to time. Sure wish someone would step in and fill that void.

The decals are from Fred Cady, who may be out of business as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sickfish Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 WOW! Best version of the 71/70 kitbash that I've had the pleasure of seeing! Thankyou Jack! It's stunning! May I ask which '70 AAR kit did you use for the kit-bash, the Original Revell 70 kit ( green mold ) or the latest release Revell AAR?? Cheers Cliffo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 That's awesome, great work Now...Revell...do this in 1/25 scale. NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funhouse1 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 What parts from each kit did you use? Thanks Lee! It's mostly the '71. The front and rear bits are the only parts from the AAR as I recall. I had to tweak the headlight buckets and scratchbuilt the grille from wire and a foil-copied Plymouth badge...Scratbuilt a rallye dash and made a steering column from a flexible drinking straw. Can't recall what I did about the seats. The engine uses some 1/25 pieces from the Revell '67 GTX and I really should have done something about those Lego-like carbs.

Thanks Cliff! It was the green mold. I remember getting the kit and being extremely disappointed and as a result I decided to try a kitbash with the '71.

kelson Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Beautiful built kit! i hope that one day Revell will backdate their 71 into a 70 their two previous attempts were dissapointing to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Superb work! Excellent all around, and maybe the most realistic wiring and hoses I've ever seen at this scale. The whole thing just pops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Superb work! Excellent all around, and maybe the most realistic wiring and hoses I've ever seen at this scale. The whole thing just pops. Very impressive use of kit-bashing and resourcefulness (drinking straw steering column). I admire and envy your abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW Dave Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I really like it a bunch!! I've always preferred the '70 over the other years of E-bodies, and the 'hockeysticks' are my favorite Mopar stripes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
