DreamChaser Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 So in the past week I have started my cobra. I plan on going with a new super for mange kind Of look. Keeping it an out of the box build. Also this is my very first build thread, not new to models, however new to this forum, as I mainly build 1/32 aircraft. I have shot the body with gloss black then shot it with model master true blue pearl, and cleared with future floor polish. I then tamiya polished it, and waxed with with meguiars Tech wax 2.0. I have painted the engine airframe aluminum from Alclad Lauquers. Thanks, for any support in advance. I also apologize for the horrible photos, I'll try to get some in natural light some afternoon.

DreamChaser Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Managed in day light to get some more photos of the shell. I feel these pictures more accurately present the colours Of the car, from my point of view. Progress on the engine to follow, will brake fluid de-chrome parts or is oven cleaner the best way to go?

MeatMan Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Great paint! I'll be watching for tips as I've got a Cobra on the shelf for a future build. By the way, your airplane building jargon slipped in. Airframe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamChaser Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Well I am back at it again. There was a death in the family, so I decided that I had to be there for my family, rather than recluse and building models. I will say that this kit builds really well, kind of hard to believe that it is from Revell. To Date I've laid down some aluminum and assembled pretty Much the chassis. I can't wait to wrap this thing up! Picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
