jparsons1969 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 This is the Revell '71 Hemi 'Cuda kit. I originally used Wicked Colors Pearl Plumb paint but my airbush kept spitting and sputtering and totally ruined the paint job. I finally got pissed and smashed the body into shards of plastic shrapnel. After a few days, I cooled off and bought another kit and used Createx Pearl Plumb, which went on very nicely. The paint job turned out really well, although you can't tell it by my phone camera. I did mess up the windshield when I used a towel with glue on it to wipe the windshield off. Ooops. I didn't think at the time to use the windshield from the spare kit. But I can always go back and put the new one in. Overall the kit itself was really fun to put together with fewer parts and no fitting issues at all. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy J. Tannehill Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I like your 'Cuda....These Mopars could "Wind Out" to 150 mph....You felt like you "Float'n" at 100....Insane but fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparsons1969 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 bbowser, The kit was a blast to build. Less parts than usual. You do have to paint in the exhaust on the underside chassis because it's molded in. No fit issues, everything went together well. The only thing I ran into is the hood will not sit down properly over the engine compartment. But I can't complain, I made it out alive.
