vamach1 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I would like to get my hands on one of these kits to see what I could do with it. It's not my favorite coupe but one, I think should be better represented in scale. I know HRM has one of these bodies, not sure when it will make it to the top of his very long "to do" lists. yeah - crossing my fingers Brad will cast the Coupe on loan.

250 Testa Rossa Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 WHOA!! I didn't see that coming!!! I've GOT to get one of those Daytona coupes!! I've got HRM's kit as well, but I've been chicken to start on it as it's soooo nice! PLEASE REVELL!! DON'T BACK OUT ON THIS ONE! I can only hope it's a full detail kit and NOT a curbside............We'll soon know! OH!! I see the Ferrari 308GTB is on its way back! ALRIGHT!! I'm really hoping this isn't a prank either. If I do wind up getting these, I will most likely be using VRM's awesome decal sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They slipped that one in under the radar. Unless it is the 1/32 they had as a slot car and got the size wrong on the flier.

Sorry Bill. don't feel too bad I did work hard to make the flier as convincing as possible. I tried to keep the reissues as realistic as possible, and i thought the M*A*S*H* theme was a believable element. The VW Corrado was the hint of my duplicity, as that was confirmed years ago as being unable to be reissued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 And your point is? Your right I didn't read any of the posts in this thread until today. Then I decided to make my comment on it. What's wrong with that?Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Going back and rereading things a little closer, I'm very disappointed that the Revell announcement about the Cobra Coupe is an April Fools Joke. In fact I'm more than disappointed. I'm bit pissed. What a mean thing to do.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Junkman Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 With all the expressions of disappointment, you'd almost think there would be a market for an injected molded Cobra Daytona Coupe. I wonder if same could be said for an up to date (as in a mold newer than 1963) 289 Cobra roadster (standard, FIA, USRRC). Maybe a bit of market research is in order?

afx Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Monogram released this excellent 289 Cobra in 1/43rd scale. It baffles me why they never scaled it up to 1/25 or 1/24 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djflyer Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Monogram released this excellent 289 Cobra in 1/43rd scale. It baffles me why they never scaled it up to 1/25 or 1/24 scale. I couldn't agree more. My own preference would have been 24th scale, but either would have been well received. As noted in other posts, R-M had a display at the recent Milwaukee NNL and a new 260/289 Cobra was the one suggestion I had to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRM Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Well, the folks at Accurate Miniatures had plans to do a 289 USRRC, then a regular body 289, then a Cobra Daytona. I had some owners lined up who were willing to let their cars be measured/photographed. I was even going to be providing some artwork for markings and some reference for the slight differences between the Daytonas. I was also trying to talk them into providing some of the Dragonsnake parts in with the regular body 289 (and they were warming to it, albeit slowly).The problem is that they were going to use the sales from the Grand Sport reissues to bankroll the development work of the GS Roadsters, and that would bankroll the Cobras. Sales on the GS reissue flopped (a $35 retail probably was the reason), and Revell ended up buying the remaining stock of GS Coupes for small money - they repacked them (with markings from yours truly) and did pretty well.Unfortunately, the Cobras never got bankrolled...obviously.

vamach1 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 will you have the 427 Cobra decals at NNL East?Very cool that Revell is coming out with the Shelby Coupe. I didn't know about this until now.

Unfortunately, the Cobras never got bankrolled...obviously. How about some new decals for the AMT 289, the Sunny 427 and HRM trans-kits (Dragonsnake, LeMans Hardtop, AC Ace)? These kits can be built into a lot of different configurations. Edited April 18, 2017 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
