WingNuts Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) I have admired the work many of you share. Mostly an aircraft modeler I stray into automative when a subject bites. Watching the Barrett Jackson auction when Carrol Shelby's Super Snake sold made me want to build another Cobra. Ahhh, enter E-Bay and the search for a 1/16th Cobra that I had built years age for my brother. Found one in March and the referance search was on. Here is where I stand as of now, Appreciate your feedback and comments. Especially the photography. Having a tough time taking the close-ups.

John E. Bowers Jr. Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 You, sir, are responsible for my beginning to search for one of these kits and will be hearing from my wife upon my success ! I built one of these when it was a new release. Very nice job you are doing here, keep us posted. J.B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darin Bastedo Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Great looking start. I'm a huge cobra fan. One thing you might change is CSX3015 had an automatic transmission... Here is a link to my Cobra reference photos... My Cobra Ref. Pictures Darin Bastedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingNuts Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Appreciate all the kind words. Len, I'll build another one and take a few photos on how I did it. Be about a week though. John, I used the MPC kit as abase for mine. Arrived missing a few parts though. Have the wife call and I'll hand the phone to my wife. They can compare notes. Darin, you and I have been visiting the same web sites. I had all those shots of 3015 as you have. I have already made the automatic shifter. Just need to make the shift selector box and the interior will be done. Darin the Cobra story site has removed many of the photos he had up a couple of months ago. I used many of those pics when I did the manifold carving in wax. I thought the seats were a little funky without any back. I built them up with Milliputt contouring to shape.

WingNuts Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hood almost finished! 1st pic is the rough shape Then the Milliput added and primed.

afx Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I have to ask which sunbeam kit is sitting behind it? Its the AMT kit, most likely the Blueprinter version. It is schedule for re-release this year. Edited April 4, 2016 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
