’70 Plymouth HEMI Cuda 2’n1



From Revell comes a Special Edition Series, two-for-the-price-of one, plastic model kit of the infamous muscle car:  the ’70 Plymouth HEMI Cuda.
 
I remember as a high school student drooling over the Cuda-what teenage boy didn’t?  The Cuda was the ultimate ‘muscle machine’ that guaranteed oohs and aaahs from fellow teenagers-especially the girls.  I never owned one but I did know a few fortunate teenagers who did.

Gauged at a 3 Skill Level the 1:25 Scale model kit offers two Cudas to assemble.
Whether you choose the two-tone blue and silver or lime green version both feature custom wheels and killer engines loaded with chrome and mounted on an E-body.  

The third generation Barra’cuda’, low production number, custom HEMI engine mean machine is a ‘must have’ for any serious automobile model maker.

Check out the opening hoods, airfoils, scoops, powerful V8 engines (with all the bells and whistles) and the body trims, characteristic straight grills with spaced headlights, two-doors, small trunks and narrow back seats.

This baby is made for speed!  It’s not fancy but it delivers the horsepower and streamline body to leave any competitor in the dust. 

As with all Revell models expect easy to detach parts from part trees, comprehensive instructions for assembly, painting and decals and snug tight fits for parts.
