Sharp looking '71 'Cuda, Raoul! You did a excellent job building and painting your Revell '71 Cuda 440+6 and as always thanks for posting your video(s) as I learn something new each and every time you post one too!
You build the best stock models. And your information on the real cars is super. My favourite models are stock slightly modified. I'm a MOPAR fan, but I of your cars are cool. Keep putting out those great builds.👍
The color combination on this one is great. Glad you went with the white billboards and not the black. Very nice and love the day 2 builds (most of mine are day 2 builds).
Great history lesson on Mopar. Because I know very little about them. That is a awesome build amazing detailing. Have a great Labor Day weekend 🤠🤠😎😎🏁🏁🏁👍
That blue all over the body is so sweet and makes the car to look pretty solid but only one thing and one only; that gigantic white decal sideways is horrendous. Im pondering painting my car also in blue but with the black decal....I know won't contrast...that's the deal 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Looks great Raoul, my 71 Satellite I drove when I was in my 20s was B7 Blue. Great job on the Cuda. I got some clay to hold air cleaners & hoods on, works good. Keep up the history lessons for the next generation, Especially Mopar!
Manufacturers always lied about hp ratings for insurance reasons. A 426 hemi could crack the 500+ hp threshold just by changing the ignition timing. Nice background story.
Also carb cars that are built day in Detroit and they go to the east coast like Gulf coast of Alabama FL Ms ECT or Colorado you would be down on power and would have to change jets in carbs and timing and tune carb for elevation back then almost every guy could tune their own motors to get most HP out of it with a timing light and some jets. Now a days you gotta have a lap top and programs to be able to tune your motor tomgetor power. I'm 30 grew up racing asphalt oval track cars started in a 430 rear wheel horsepower superstock when I was ten and love carbs. My hot rod 1969 rambler is a Chrysler 360 pro stock blown drag motor in it carb no fuel injection duel coil ignition and dual msd ignition boxes
Hi Raoul! Love this one! Especially the colors. I have a '68 Hemi Charger in the works with a dark blue exterior and a bright blue interior on the bench, that you inspired. I am kind of surprised you didn't use the 440 out of the '69 Super Bee but still a very cool build. Looking forward to seeing further Mopars from your collection and your future builds as well.
Yes you are correct. But many don’t know that and for some reason the Dodge names are remembered. How many people say “In Violet” instead of “Plum Crazy” or “Moulin Rouge” instead of “Panther Pink”? Bonus points if you can give the name of B7 blue for 71 Plymouth. Hint: It’s not Jamaica Blue.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler if only a Jo-Han could be found.... You sure did a good job with this only 1/24 exemple of a Cuda. Mine came out of the box and returned to the box a few time...to much work... The kit 426 will eventually go with the 1/24 T/A.

It’s not for everyone!

Nice Cuda! You think in the future you could show us how you display your collection and keep the clean and safe?
Possibly! I have to clean them up before each video. Some need more than others as they have been sitting awhile!
That is interesting....the 440 4bbl Super Commando was still available in the GTX,Charger RT and Sport Fury GT for 71...
If I remember correctly these were the only 3 cars available with the 440 4bbl Super Commando in 71..
You may be right but I would have to write it down.
Excellent!!!!
Thanks!
Another oddity is the fact that the Shaker was standard in the Hemicuda..yet optional on the Hemi Challenger RT ..
Yes. And the Challenger was the up scale car!
Hello Raoul. Do you ever light any of your car kits? If so, what type of lighting?
I'm constantly playing with that.
Manufacturers always lied about hp ratings for insurance reasons. A 426 hemi could crack the 500+ hp threshold just by changing the ignition timing. Nice background story.
Thank you. Sometimes they were not in the best tune right off the transporter. That is another reason the ratings were a bit low.
Also carb cars that are built day in Detroit and they go to the east coast like Gulf coast of Alabama FL Ms ECT or Colorado you would be down on power and would have to change jets in carbs and timing and tune carb for elevation back then almost every guy could tune their own motors to get most HP out of it with a timing light and some jets. Now a days you gotta have a lap top and programs to be able to tune your motor tomgetor power.

I was thinking the same thing but the detail on the AMT motor is much better. But not sure why I didn’t at the time.
In-line 6???? I know you meant to say slant 6 😱😏😁
Not all my viewers speak Mopar! LOL.
Dodge = 6 pack / Plymouth = 6 barrel. Named differently from factory. Just say'n.
Yes you are correct. But many don’t know that and for some reason the Dodge names are remembered. How many people say “In Violet” instead of “Plum Crazy” or “Moulin Rouge” instead of “Panther Pink”? Bonus points if you can give the name of B7 blue for 71 Plymouth. Hint: It’s not Jamaica Blue.
This kit is pure crap. I hope Revell would update the newer 1/25 1970 kit to a 1971.
You could kit bash this one with the 70. Or find a JoHan 71 or better yet a MPC 71 and kit bash those.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler if only a Jo-Han could be found.... You sure did a good job with this only 1/24 exemple of a Cuda. Mine came out of the box and returned to the box a few time...to much work...
The kit 426 will eventually go with the 1/24 T/A.
