AZ Boy Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Just finished this one today...Don Schumacher's 1971 Stardust Barracuda F/C. I used a resin 'Cuda body along with a modified Revell chassis. Aside from the front of the chassis, the rest of this build fell together pretty quickly (for me, that is!). I used Calnaga Casting's resin Enderle injector along with their parachutes. I also used a combination of Charlie's Pro Tech wiring and some Detail Master too. I hope you all will enjoy, and as usual...comments and questions are certainly welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Twister Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Outstanding build Aaron.....Your work is always super clean and nicely detailed. Good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynoMight Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Great job. Wondering why the headlights are circles instead of what the actual car looks like.. hmmm.. The car looks awesome. Funny Cars have always been cool.. EDIT: Just googled a 1971 Cuda grill and I now know that the 71 grille had two lights instead of one like the 1970 or 72-74. I see now.

Jimmy Wilson Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Great Job ! You can see the plain white headlights in one of the actual photos of the car. I am curious as to where you got the transfers for the tires, They look really nice. Regards, Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Clone Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Mighty good looking FC you have put together. Is the front end scratch built or is this a chassis that i have missed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 It looks like you made significant modifications to the chassis to make it accurate. Rarely do most modelers do that. Looks the part. Which is high praise. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Photos Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Great work very nice detail on this build. Great car also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrozilla Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Aaron, what a gorgeous build. So accurate, so right, so awesome in so many ways. I'm a Schumacher fan to begin with, but add some red, white and blue to a car and I melt just a little bit. Schweet!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Boy Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks again, fellas. Tomas, the front independant suspension was scratchbuilt on to a Revell chassis. This was my first effort at this type of modification. There are three more cars I want to build that have the same setup, so hopefully the next ones will be more detailled than this one.
