Hey, afx, what's that other Cobra between the LM hardtop and the red one? Is it yours?

The earlier competition cars (1963) that ran the kidney bean Halibrand wheels. There's a photo of one next to the Le Mans hardtop. These cars ran at Sebring in 1963.
No I don't believe HRM is going to do the late '63 team cars. Harold does have the halibrand wheels & tires in his catalog however. The early comp car you see in the photo is another Cobra I am working on (actually all 3 cars in the photo are mine). I modified the AMT by adding the rear wheel flares. I am trying to convince Harold to do the '64 FIA cars in 1/25 scale (he already has the FIA Cobra in 1/24 scale in his catalog) but I am not having any luck yet.

Yes all (3) cars are mine, The center car is going to be a '63 Sebring car. I am not sure if I am going to build Dan Gurney's car or Phil Hills'. More photos of the red car are "Under Glass" CSX 2026 1st Race Win.

Really fine work so far. That engine bay looks great, very nicely detailed & clean.

The trans kit come with a very nice engine. The Weber carbs and intake are gorgeous. However on my CSX 2026 build I used the 289 out of Monogram's GT350R Mustang.

Great job on a cool car! Did it take long for the kit to get delivered from HRM?

Thanks Marcos. It is bascially finished minus the decals. No decal set is available for this car, atleast non that I am aware of. I will try on post some more photos tonight.

Finally down of the jack stands and up on her feet (a fresh set of Dunlop Racing wheels & tires). She acts like a race car now it time to put the decals on show she look like one too.
