Early AAR Cuda Customs

This copper AAR Cuda was the first custom I made, or at least the first one that didn’t get immediately remade. It has a lot of odd ball stuff going on, but it remains a favorite for sentimental reasons. The black stripes are made from tape, (not something I would recommend copying) and the decals were printed on my old inkjet printer on clear water slide paper. Pretty basic, but I think it turned out well considering I didn’t know what I was doing.

This one doesn’t look like much, but it was the first car I used my airbrush on. I’m still using the same airbrush to this day.

And this one. Yes the tires are goofy, but I was proud that I Dremel the hell out of the wheel wells to get those wheels to fit. Also showing off my new (at the time they were new) white backed water slides, I bought them from an intern et site…thought I had figured out all the secrets of the universe on this one.
