   Thanks guys!  I couldn't find the correct color ignition wire here in the shop, the correct wheels (nobody makes them), nor did I replicate the bracing under the dash.  Overall, the end result is just how it looked in the episode.  While the chassis can be a bit spindly to build and the headers might not line up perfectly, this is a neat kit to build as this has been my third Revellogram Cobra built in the last few years.

   Cobra In A Barn

   This is my version of the "Cobra In A Barn" that was found by Wayne Carini of TV's Chasing Classic Cars.  I have even replicated the broken drivers side vent wing and the rusted knockoffs of the original car.

   Thank you guys!  peekay, yes I did clear coat the wood using the same gloss clear that I used on the rest of the model.  I used Testors Wet Look Clear.

   '49 Mercury Woody Wagon

   This is my Revell '49 Merc Woody painted with Testors Mythical Maroon and Model Master Wood on the body with Model Master Dark Tan for the interior.  The front suspension has been lowered.  I used chrome bumperettes for the visor supports, changed the wheels to chrome reverse wheels from the Monogram '69 Charger Daytona, changed the rear taillights, and added a license plate frame.

    Thank you guys for the nice comments! Every once in a great while, someone will resurrect one of my old builds and comment on it. This one was completed over four years ago and it still looks great sitting on my display shelf. It s by no means a show winner, but it is a winner at home.

    Thank you guys!
    As far as I know, no one makes this in 1/6 scale. To me, 1/6 scale is a bit of an odd scale versus 1/8 or 1/10 scale or even 1/12 or 1/16 scale. Good luck in your search.
    Foiling helps cover part of the mask line. I'd rather paint everything first, then foil afterwards. For me, cleaning paint from foil is a pain and something I really don't want to do.
