This is the old Revell 1990's version '70 AAR Cuda with the correct body shape, it's not the crappy 2000's version that was the very wrong shape. I built this back in 2016, and sprayed it with a automotive touch up rattle can. The biggest thing I changed out on this that I can recall is the rear end, I tubbed the inner wheel wells, moved the rear springs inboard, shortened the diff and used wide GoodYear Blue Streak tyres. The engine bay got dressed up with some plumbing and linkages etc. and the interior received seat belts. I got this kit second hand and it was missing the decals, so I sourced some from a spare 90's vintage Revell AAR kit. I thought it was a pretty clean build that didn't come out too bad after painting it twice.           Thanks for looking in. TJ |

Extremely nice rendition of my dream car( but mine would be triple black). Really nice work with fuel system/ linkage. Keep them coming!
