Personally I like the 95 issue body. The lower roof looks sleeker and more like a custom chop cuda. Looks meaner to me. My daughter has just ordered one off eBay for me for father's day. Can't wait to build it. My uncle was a Chevy guy and used to joke about Mopar guys not being to bright. Because they always ran out of paint before they got to the hood. Lol
The 95 issue never bothered me and now that I'm finished building the 2007 it doesn't look to bad either. It looks worse unpainted. I still have to do the 1/25 thou!
Great video. I've had the first one. Sold it when the third one came out. Always thought the middle one was just a straight reissue of the first one., Thanks for sharing
Your welcome! That middle one was a big surprise to me when new. I thought it was a strait reissue as well.
Great video and pretty informative, never expected that those kits have so many differences. Nicely builded cudas also. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! It is surprising what Revell went through to offer this car!
Raoul, I love these types of videos! Kit reviews are my favorites!
Thanks. They are fun to do as well.

Looks like the white stripes do exist, you can see a few example of them on the net, they appear to be original. The revised body in 1/24 scale have a more accurate rear window/ deck lid shape even compared to the latest 1/25 scale new tooling sadly.
Yes but no. From the factory the AAR Cuda and T/A Challenger stripes only came in black. The Suade/Savage race car had white stripes but was not factory. I understand it was not even an AAR originally. They are decals and easily done in white. Even this car on Hagerty has white on it but coded V6H for black stripes.

That MPB detail part conversion kit looks awful familiar. Wonder what drawer that's hiding in? I've got both hood editions on the Monogram kit. Thanks for the update, didn't know Revell did several molds for the 1/25 AAR. Wasn't quite clear on the decals. Want to do In Violet with white 'strobes' whether it's factory stock or not. Was that kit #. 7601 ?
The first two issues are different but they are 1/24 scale. The newest one is 1/25 scale. The first issue is 7601 and has the white stripes.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler Thanks Loads! Hope I can grab one at the Nats in TX
Great video. Did you have to modify anything when using the chassis from the T/A to fit into the 71 Cuda body?
Yes. It has been 30 years but having another trans kit and directions it reminded me of what I had to do. the main thing was to shorten up the inner fenders so the chassis could sit higher.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler Thank you very much, I will give it another try.
@@moore28580 Are you building one using the Monogram 71 Cuda body? Would you like a scan of the directions from the resin trans kit?
@@TheMuscleCarModeler The scan would be great. I have 2 unbuilt kits and 1 rebuilder. Gonna try a few different upgrades on them. The 71 has always been my favorite Cuda. Want to try casting some parking lights and add some shock towers,firewall insert and so on.
@@moore28580 What is your email address?
17:26 Which kit is the "Holy Grail" kit? Was it the MPC or the latest Revell?
I’m not sure what you mean. The MPC annual is a 70 Hemi Cuda. It has a nice body and I have one but I really like the Revell Hemi Cuda along with the newest AAR Cuda.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler When you say the "Holy Grail" kit, which kit are you talking about. Hope that clears up my question.
@@jackyouup7441 I had to listen to it again as I did this one years ago. I was talking about the MPC 1970 Hemi Cuda annual. That one has a really nice body that I was comparing this one to.
I have 2 , 71's.
Cool!
I find alot of the 1/24th scale out of portion don`t look right compare to the 1/25 th scale look at the rampage Camaro that monogram did
Most of the time the scales difference does not bother me. But some of the kits just don't look right. The Rampage is a great example.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler great kit for parts but is it
I bought the first two releases; I was so irritated by both of those kits & their inherent issues that I stopped buying Monogram/ 1/24 scale altogether. The newest Revell Hemi Cuda & AAR are THE only kits worth buying now. The 1/25 Revell kits are outstanding & very well done. Hopefully, whoever has the original 1/24 scale tooling destroys it or stores it away forever in their "Hall of Shame".
The latest kit is very nice!
