This is the build process of the AMT ERTL 1/25 scale 1969 Plymouth Barracuda 383 V8 fastback hardtop.

Yes, another Plymouth I know - but the model car collection did need a fillup of Mopar products after building numerous Chevrolet and Ford models, next on the agenda is a Dodge Daytona... - it was a great car to make though, and proved easy... The Barracuda was the Chrysler answer to the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro, however unlike the Mustang and Camaro, eventual Cuda production ended in 1974!

Soundtrack is Seether - "69 Tea" (2003)

  • the amt 1966 mustang was eazy not even a good challenge. i need level 3 models. i like revell better tho. ive been building model since i was 8 years old and im still not very good. lol. nice build man.

  • @Balto2WolfQuest Hey thanks - yep, the level 3's are not the easiest to find... I did an AMT 1966 Mustang several years back - though not a challenge, I did like the options that it came with (ie 3 sets of tires)

  • nice looking build, im working on this kit right now and its a bad bad kit lol. nothing fits well and there are so many things that need to be fixed.

  • @TheMetallicafan88 Hey thanks! - what this vid does not show is the amount of trial and error involved in building this kit (and there was a lot - the rear bumper was smoothed with filler and resprayed before it could be fit, fitting the chassis and engine was a mission) - I get the idea that this kit's tooling came out when the car did.

    By contrast I found the Revell 1970 Barracuda a far easier prospect to build.

  • Also new at this. Can you give me the basic step-by-step process you use?

  • @warriorlaxx01 Take a look at my Nissan Skyline vid, as it is also a tutorial into how I build the cars...

  • Great looking car. Just like McBaerRR660GT, I am just starting out. I'm about to build a '71 cuda (revell). What is the basic step-by-step process that you go by?
