This afternoon, I wired the engine, added exhaust manifolds, heater hoses and decals. I need to add an ignition coil. Then I painted the bench seat, steering column, radiator, dash and the body.    More Plymouth to come... |

Well, chock up another screw up to Revell. I went and looked at the decal sheet and the decals don't fit the hood since they are a little on the short side. Then I looked at decal no. 6 and then I went to the instruction sheet and there is no mention of no. 6 decals or decals for the caliphers. I wonder what the decals and the instruction sheet for the Revell of Germany kit looks like. I heard that the decal sheet is bigger! I painted the dash and the radiator. The radiator has be detailed and the dash is next.    More Plymouth to come... |

I found that with the AAR Cuda’s the Revell of Germany has more decals than the regular Revell kit.

Yeah. I am finding that the Revell of Germany kits have a better decal sheet than the Revell USA kits.

I finished the interior for now. I still want to add a tachometer to the dash. The engine and drive shaft has been installed and the chassis is complete.    More Plymouth to come... |

I wanted to add a tachometer and I had a PE tach from Detail Master that I thought would fit the bill. It was a scale 5 inches in diameter and the more I thought about it, the more I thought that it was too large. I used a spare tach that came in the Revell Foose '67 Coronet kit and I detailed that to my liking and installed it. While I was at it, I made an ignition coil and installed that as well. Then I detailed the grille with Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver for the headlight buckes and Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black for the grille itself.    More Plymouth to come... |

I went and finished the grille and front valance with lights and prepped the rear valance for additional stripes coming down from the taillights.    More Plymouth to come... |

Yeah. I am finding that the Revell of Germany kits have a better decal sheet than the Revell USA kits. what does this mean? how do you know what kit your getting? why are there 2 different countries represented for 1 kit? |

Revell of Germany owns the whole thing and Revell USA is lead by RoG. Revell USA produces kits for USA consumption while RoG does send some of the same kits to the USA which most likely have a slightly different decal sheet. Either kit will most likely have the same plastic parts in those kits, but the RoG kits have different instructions and decals. Revell USA model kits come in the square boxes and RoG kits come in the flat boxes.
