1971 Hemi Cuda 426

This is a great kit. Molding is fantastic...very little flash and everything fits together nicely. Instructions are detailed and simple to follow. This is one of those kits that you're probably going to want to build 2 or 3 times...the stock version comes together beautifully, and is a legendary muscle car icon. But it's a fun kit to modify as well, either just slightly or all out. I just finished building a very slightly modified kit (dog dish wheels, hot rod black paint, black on black on black trim), and am getting ready to order a few more to add to my build queue so I can have a completely factory build, and a pro-touring inspired one too.

This was a decent kit, although it was a little basic with a lower parts count. The biggest knock would be the exhaust molded into the chassis. Everything did fit nicely and the model went together without much problem which was a plus. The billboard decals went on nicely and look really good. I gave this kit a 4 because of the molded in exhaust, but with a little work and some extra detailing it can easily be turned into a 5 star build.

First model I've built in over 25 years and I'm glad to have gotten back into the hobby. Thus far the parts fit great. Flash and mold lines are minimal. I feel the interior detail is a bit lacking and I wish the kit included white rear fender decals instead of only black. Otherwise I'm having a blast with this piece of Mopar muscle history.
