1970 Plymouth HEMI ‘Cuda 1:25 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-4268 Review
Review and Photos by Will Emerson 
In 1964 Plymouth developed the Barracuda from the Valiant platform and by 1970 it was ready for it’s third generation styling. The third generation was an all new design designated the E body. The fastback model was dropped leaving only coupe and convertible options, but more engine options were also offered. The most exciting of these options was for the first time you could option the Cuda with a 426 Hemi! The Hemi was a very expensive option [only 652 were ordered], but what an option it was. The Hemi put out 426 gross HP and had that distinctive sound that told everyone what was under the hood. It’s numbers were good as well 0-60 in 5.8 seconds and just under 14 seconds in the quarter mile.
For the Modeler: This review is for the 1970 Plymouth HEMI ‘Cuda 1:25 Scale Revell 2’n1 Model Kit #85-4268. It is a Skill Level 3â€Special Edition†kit for the advanced builder. There are 149 pieces to this kit and very well laid out instructions.  The pieces are 
molded in molded in white, chrome, clear, and transparent red with black vinyl tires and waterslide decals. This kit, as you would expect from new tooling, is free of flash and very well done. It also appears the body is much more accurate than the previous AAR versions made by Revell. There are some seams on the body that have to be cleaned up, but nothing major. The kit’s finished dimensions are; Length: 7-1/2″, Width: 3″, Height: 2-1/8.”
