I just finished this up yesterday morning. This is a Marsh Models 289 Cobra 1/43 scale. Very nice kit but did use some parts from the Monogram 1/43 Cobra kit like the windshield. The wheels are beautiful and overall just a great resin kit. I used Tamiya British green for paint. I love building 1/43rds from time to time but at 68 not sure how much longer I can deal with tiny parts like hood hinges on this kit. Thanks for looking and comments .

Very nice build.

Great job. Years ago I had one 1:1 in bright red with a tan interior. Beautiful car. But it had so many issues that I gave up on it and sold it. Again great job.

Very nice!

I am famous for starting a new kit and leaving the rest behind. I just told my wife two weeks ago that I cannot work on two kits at once even if they are totally different. I often build 1/43 kits and you would think I could work on a resin 1/43 Porsche GT3 race car and a Johan 1969 Roadrunner at the same time. Nope one will fall by the way!!!

Looks fabulous!

Thanks Dan and your right the hood..... forgot about that little issue!!!

Great looking build. I have built a couple of these. Can I ask how you lowered the suspension? My front on this kit has always sat too high in my opinion. Great job.

That is great and on a Revell/Monogram 70 Roadrunner!

Good job. I am a big fan of 1/43

Thanks and not easy in some respects with the smallness of the parts. The kit is very nice to build except tiny pieces like tonneau cover rivets. Who is picking those up from a plate with a tweezer? Not me!!

Nice job Michelle

wow! amazing build.

I will hopefully finish this up in the next week. This is the excellent casting from Marsh of a 289 Cobra. The small pieces such as license plate light, hood hinges and rivets for the top will likely kill me. I am adding a few items from the Monogram 1/43 Cobra kit like the Windshield and frame. Thanks everyone. Btw the paint is racing green from a Tamiya can.

Nice job Michelle

Wow that is gorgeous and love the wsw tires.

Very nice . My dad back in 1953 with his new 53

I totally agree. I received mine a week ago or more and had ordered it back this past summer. But I figured it is a start on a non 1:1 version of a Sport Fury GT.

Great job on a correct Heavy Chevy!

Nice clean build

Keep posting!! Looking good I think the Emory family would be proud to see your work!

Thanks Tim. Will I be building a Semi Tractor for the maybe first time in my life?? Anyhow the Duster will be a purchase for me the only criticism and I hate to do it but are those 71 Rally wheels not 72 center caps? I cannot really tell with them still in the bag. I Can always drag wheels out of a Dart 75-76 kit. Thanks and an exciting 12 months ahead for us.

A little partial to the Charger EV's! Great build Michelle.

That is a great build.

Nice! They should have put a HO 302 in the Comet GT back in 71-72 maybe even a 351. Anyhow nice build.
