1/25 Revell '70 Plymouth HEMI 'Cuda 2'n1

[Rob Hall]

Just looking at the resized pics I noticed the box art car has a Barracuda script behind the front wheel well and is decal # 25,is a future variant going to have the option to build a mainstream version or gran coupe?,for the Gran coupe looks like a emblem below the barracuda script would need to be added.

Looks like the script decal is for the custom version, it's visible on the fender of the blue/white car on the box art.

Oh Yeah I see that,but it's also on the Lime green cuda and I know it doesn't belong there,so it got me curious

Ok, So who is going to be the 1st to replicate this one ?

[azers]

My eyes hurt now.

[Rob Hall]

I wouldn't mind doing one like this, very subtle, no stripe, maybe use steelies and DDs.

or one like this:

or this very tasty example w/ a red stripe:

Wow, if the worst thing about this kit is a few non-factory stock decals...

99% of the buyers will be a very happy camper ( myself included )

Guys...I may be the guilty party on this one...several years back I gave Revell quite explicit suggestions on the factory content/options for this kit and I may have suggested a red stripe along with the Black and White. I need to find my correspondence and see if I'm the one to blame.... TIM

[Chuck Kourouklis]

Well and good, Tim, but Rob's black example above looks pretty bad-a$$...

Yep...here it is from another angle.

...then we have it pretty darn good right now.

Here's Tim's decal sheet picture:

Lots of options, and I think Keith Marks offers a sheet if you want even more options.

Thanks Rob, I thought I was going to pass on this one, but after this photo, I am thinking when Hobby Lobby sells it, I may just have to get it

So many possibilities...even just sticking w/ stock versions--chrome side trim or not, fog lights or not, bumper choices, hood choices, stripe choices...wheel choices if you use some aftermarket parts, rear wing or not, etc..

I'm really excited about this kit. I don't know how many I will buy but Here are some that I already built.

I doubt a Gran Coupe would ever be a stand alone version of this kit, but I could see Revell eventually offering the "flat" standard hood as a future option. Some people like and prefer to use decals for the nameplates instead of foiling or painting the nameplates after the body is painted, so adding a "Barracuda" nameplate decal didn't take much extra work on the artist's part, so why not include it.

[Nate]

I'm hoping that they tool up a #48 TransAm racer, with minilites and all...

[FASTBACK340]

An AAR version would be the next logical kit release. As much as I'd like the S&M car, this would make more sense. Or maybe after a drag car.....

[LVZ2881]

Dog dishes and steelies, please!!!

[gtx6970]

IMO a race series AAR is pushing the envelope. Outside of the body shell itself ,grille + bumpers the glass and chassis pan nothing is the same between it and this Hemi Cuda

Because nothing in the interior of the TransAm series AAR race cars is stock ( except maybe the dash )

A stock AAR would be nice and doable, but I have a feeling the aftermkt will fill that void pretty quickly once this kit is released. The drivetrain from the AMT duster could supply most of the engine / trans required

[Rob Hall]

Since they've done the AAR already twice in 1/24th, I don't think it will be at the top of the list of possible variations. I figure I can approximate one w/ the resin 1/25th AAR hood and the '71 Duster engine/trans (IIRC, that kit has a 6 pack option).

[johnbuzzed]

Yes, the Duster kit comes w/ a six barrel induction system. And A/C, too.

Exactly ! It'd be nice if Round2 would reissue the Duster kit , but include the non-a/c pulleys / belt from the Street Machine ("Viper" engine) version .

That Six Barrel arrangement with that York RV-2 compressor isn't at all a *realistic* setup !

[Jantrix]

Looking forward to getting one. Looks great. Thanks for posting the decals Casey.

I'm thinking about doing a Pikes Peak racer with this. Where might I locate a decent looking 340/360 for such an application?
