`70 AAR Cuda

I know this kit is the kit everyone loves to hate, but I really like building it, and it looks pretty convincing in real life, IMO. I hope to build a couple more of these if get the chance.

Great looking model! Impressive paint job and as clean as always.
Is it a 1/24 or 1/12? It looks like a 1/12 to me but knowing your skills it might very well be a great 1/24 scale model.

Fantastic finish. Is the issue with this kit around the rear wings, because the shape doesn't look quite right there? But still a great result!

I know that it has been pointed out previously that this kit has some inaccuracies but you have made a superb job of it. It looks fantastic! I particularly like your white lettering on the tyres. Would you mind sharing how you did the white lettering please?

Nice job on it, nice color

It just kills me whenever I see one though...those rear fenders are all kinds of wrong...decals amplify the problem. Sigh...

Thanks. It is 1/25 I think. It was quite a switch for me. Quite a strain on the eyes in comparison to what I am used to.

They are Shabo dry transfer letters from memory.

I almost cried when I opened the box and saw the decals. If you can believe it, I actually did "cut" the rear fenders down, very conservatively though. It`s alot of fun to try to do that and not make them look "flat" on the top and maintain all the surrounding curves. I also cut notches along the side of the decal and used decal setting solution to try to get that massive hoop that the decal does straight.
