I'm working on a pair of Johan 71 Cuda's. I'm not really interested in superdetailing them so I'm keeping all the Johan parts. So here is my delema. I'm looking for some good info or photo's on the outside appearance of the 70 Cuda as raced. I know there are differences from race to race. The restored 70 had red bumpers and a red tail light panel. Also these kits only have one seat but most pics I see two seats. Were they raced with both seats?
As for the kit's it's funny but I bought one kit in the late 80's new at a local hobby store. I rode my bike to get a model and that is the one I picked up. I somehow lost one front rim and broke a rear rim back then. So Only the motor was painted and glued. About two years ago I picked up another built kit from a friend for $8. I wanted just the wheels and the rest was parts originaly. So I decided to strip the paint and see what shape this one was in. Now it's just as clean and restorable. I just needed some glass, the front suspension part and now wheels again. I got resin Modelhaus wheels and traded for the rest of the missing parts. So then I thought I would do one as a 70 and got the Reliable Resin kit to do it.
Pics to come.
