Bills72sj Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 This model I am very proud of. I absolutely love the Sub-Lime green paint. It says MOPAR, all the way. The rims are from the kit but I used the 5-holers, intended for the rear, on the front. I widened the rear rims by sanding out the centers of a set of ConvoPros and adding them to the original front rims to make them deep dish. I actually had to narrow the rear tires slightly to get them to fit in the quarter panels. What I like the most is I nailed the stance perfectly. The grille was meticulously hand painted and this is the second model I have ever BMF’d. I tried using the black, Hemi “billboard” decals from the kit which are correct for 1971, but I did not like them the minute they were laid. Instead I had Keith Marks make me up a set of 1/24th 1970 “hockey stick” stripes which I think looks a whole lot better. The interior was painted semi-gloss by spraying Testors Glosscoat over Testors flat black. I duplicates the texture and sheen of vinyl. When the head lights were installed, they looked like binoculars. I ended up setting back a tad to get them to look correct. If I ever win the lottery, I would buy a real one.
Snake45 Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Very nice, very tasteful! Well done and model on!
Plowboy Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 That is sharp! The stance is right on the money! I'd like to see a good side photo to see the wheels and profile better. Nice work!
br67 Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Great job Bill - love that big rear wheel/tyre combo
espo Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 You're right about the stance on this. The paint looks perfect and I also like the stripes better than the billboards. A lot of fine detailing on the body trim.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Nice looking Cuda! I agree on the Sub-Lime color. The stance and those wheels/tires give it that cool mean look. Great job!!
Deuces Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Cool! ?? Who came out with that transporter semi?????...

First came out in the 80s, then there was a reissue (mid-2010s I think) Rumour is it's being reissued next year.
iamsuperdan Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 I have this Cuda in the stash, and have never seen a build that has made me want to build it. Until now. Nice job!

I just finished one, and the OP just posted this one! It's an AMT kit. Kenworth T600A. Mine is the T600A Canepa, very similar to this one. EDIt: I just noticed. OP's trailer is not the one I posted. It's an older AMT kit. THe background pic in his pics IS of the one I posted.

drifterdon Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 Wow! Stunning build. Is this Monogram's Cuda Street Machine in 1/24?
tmb727 Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 Great looking model. Yes, perfect stance and color choice. Love that transporter pic! I think I also see a GSX and either a Daytona or Superbird. Add in the Cuda and that's a lot of money riding on the back of that truck...
Hmann68 Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 That’s one awesome looking Cuda! I also have always liked the hockey stick stripes on the 70 over the 71 billboards, and they look great on your 71! Great stance and a clean build ??
