Revell 71 Cuda model sucks!

level 4 kit with this exhaust? you can do better Revell

Yes, one of the original Monogram kits. Love the car, not crazy about the kit. No shock towers, no firewall detail except booster and master cylinder. Gonna try adapting some of these details from other kits on mine.

Is there another better kit to build this model?

What I like about the kit:
Its a 'Cuda.
What I dont like about the kit:
Lack of under hood detail, molded in exhaust, ill fitting front and rear valences, hood not closing fully, headlights improperly spaced, fragile decals, and the chrome trim.
I am going to try and build this again, test fitting EVERYTHING before even painting, and make it better than before!

I do agree with you. Nothing new; Revell insists on lowering quality.

[PlastykLunatykKreations]

Its a repop of an older mold, actually its an old monogram kit. The new rating sytem that revell uses now can be deceiving.

I feel that MPC instead (round 2) is improving their game. A good example is the 1970 dodge demon. Take a look at it with hpi guys.

Im working on this kit now... 2nd one I've done. Only thing i can say is, it does test your painting skills to highlight the exhaust...
Engine, by far the best part of the kit.... i think the interior sucks, as well

[chesterlewis-iqrp]

Yes I agree the exhaust should be separate

[modelcars]

I rarely use the exhaust in a kit. So, I hate when it is molded into any chassis.

[RCBirds]

Can it be that this is a re-released model from the 70s? Sometimes they do this without renewing the kit.

[conniepowell]

I agree especially how expensive these kits are nowadays. Speaking of shitty kits, never get the mpc country charger bro!!!

[subversive]

I know Revell uses the level system on their other types of kits, aircraft, ships, etc. From what I have read the level system pertains to the number of parts, not difficulty. The more parts a kit has, the higher their number.

[jimsmodelcargarage]

Yea, i agree 100%. It's still a great looking build. K.u.t.g.w.

[notenoughmemes]

Yeah that kit was rather disappointing, the interior lacks a lot of detail compared to their 70 Cuda kits. I will say it is not as bad as an average mpc kit.
