Caddy, just let me know where to send it. It's an old Revell kit I think. It's on the smallish side, but good enough to experiment with.

You are so right it's not a bad place, but don't mess with the family? Believe me if they want to they will through you under the bus and they will, and I think I can say that right Philippe?
Sometimes things get political and some times my family realize that if they can do it to one of our own,
they might do it to us to, so you never know where they might stand up for you or not?
OH well it's all good right now but lets see....
Thanks to you all for helping me getting a Cudda.

I been looking at this old Revelle model of the Barracuda and I can say they did not put to much into the mold way back then,there is lot of molding issues on this one but they are fixable of course, I still love this little guy.
Here is some examples that you would not see today with modern 1:32 cars.
Here is a pic where I'm pointing with the tweezer what is that it don't belong there?
Also on the hood we got in detentions from where the mold where held?
Around the windows lot of uneven lines.
Looking at the Pics you cant see it really but is you held the model in your hand you could see the flaws, stripping many of the new ones there is not to
many flaws in the molding process, but it all good I got a antique model and I'm very happy with it.
Time for fixing the things I don't like and having fun.

Back when that car was made they used wooden carvings to produce the molds. The body was carved in wood then reduced down to make the molds, so they didn't have the details of the newer cars. It's a miracle they were as good as they were.
I have no doubt about your modeling abilities Caddy. I know you'll fix it right up.

Glad you were able to come up with one you liked, Nesta. Heck, I like the old Baracudas, I'm an old Mopar guy from way back. Those pics that were posted of the Hurst Hemi Under Glass 'cuda brought back memories. I used to go to the drag strips when they ran match races between the wheel standers. Used to watch Bill Goldens Little Red Wagon, the Hemi Under Glass, and a couple of other go at it side by side in wheel standing match races on Saturday nights at the drags in Palm Beach way back when. Those were fun times with a lot of strange creations.
I really like seeing your work as you do these Nesta. You do really good work on the 1/32nd scale stuff.
