I like the color on it. About the only thing I'd have done differently is black-wash those rims a little. I also would've left the scoop off- too big for the car and generally not a fan of those anyway.

Here's the pitch, and the swing and "Wack" is going , going, gone ! Another one knocked outa the park ! Another home run Carl. As I have said in the past, you have a very clean building style. I like it ! Good job.

That is a sharp looking Barracuda Carl! That color looks so nice on it.

I gotta disagree Charlie. Blackwashed wheels look like dirty wheels and don't suit a cleanly built model. If it was a weathered model, I would agree with you.

Great looking Barracuda. I have always loved this body style Barracuda. Alot of people prefer the E-Body Cuda over this style but not me. Love it. Great paint job.

I agree with the scoop - not my taste. The color is beautiful Carl, clean built.

Is it the mpc kit? i'm missing this in my shelf...like the style of this Barracuda.

I loves me some burgundy, and that paint just pops! Thanks for the source reference!

Are those the tires & wheels that came with the kit? The one I built back in the late '70s had some huge tires and wheels.

Charlie and Roger, l agree with you both l was still learning at this point and did not wash the grill or the wheels. l had not joined any forums or model mags at this time. Your always learning. Thanks both of you for good tips..

I agree. I like the A body Barracudas better myself. Carl, the paint is awesome on this one! :)
