cruz Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 Built this completely box stock for a specific project that I can't say much about. I promise I will update you guys later. Color is Limelight mixed by MCW with Testors Wet Look, wet sanded, compounded, polished and waxed. Still hate the fact that this body is still way off when it comes to design but it does look pretty good when done.
Modlbldr Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 That looks very nice Cruz! I love this car and, although the kit is inaccurate, I still bought one and intend to get a couple more. Your paint looks fabulous. Later-
espo Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 Beautiful looking finish on this and the undercarriage looks great.
drodg Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) So the front end height looks better. Every one except yours looks too high in the front and realistically the back end on the 1:1 car is a tad higher than the front. Good job. I know when I built the Hemi Cuda I used the custom setting for the front end and assume the AAR Cuda comes with the extra parts from the Hemi Cuda kit. Edited May 11, 2020 by drodg
Snake45 Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 Sweet! As Letterman used to say (back when he was still funny), "You got all of that one, my friend!" That's probably the best build of the Revell '70 Cuda kit I've seen. It actually looks like a '70 Cuda in most of the pics! Well done and model on!

I added big and littles to this one just as the real one. If you use the tires in the kit, it will not be correct.
1972coronet Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 Another outstanding build , Marcos ! To me the biggest disappointments with this kit are : 1.) Dana 60 differential . Needs an 8 3/4 . 2.) Tyres . You obviously got that handled -- Revell dropped the ball .
AmericanMuscleFan Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Very nice and clean build Marcos, the paint is gorgeous! It would cost a lot at a Barrett Jackson auction! Well Done!!!

Bills72sj Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Very nice I like it. I should have sent you mine for polishing. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/147210-1970-aar-340-6-cuda-in-panther-pink/
Hmann68 Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Just plain beautiful! Super sharp as usual! Box stock looks great when done like this ?

Matt T. Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Awesome build, my friend! You did a great job with this imperfect kit. Beautiful.
