cobraman Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 This one was built in the fashion of one I saw on line. First pic is that car. I did not try to copy it but rather use it as guide. Used the Revell 1/24 Shelby Cobra kit. I stripped some chrome. Made the roll cage using parts from the parts box. Made the weird wing from sheet plastic. Made a front spoiler but forgot to put it on before pics. Body is painted with Duplicolor red/orange and then I painted on the white door stripes. Hood stripes are kit decals.

crazyjim Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 You've built 714 Cobras, Ray? I don't care for the wing on a fine looking build. I like that big red Cobra to the left and think I really like the paint on the right side Cobra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'm guessing the 714 includes diecasts. If it is kits only he must have bought every kit sold with 500 miles over the last ten years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 No way I built all of them . My count includes die cast , resin , wood , ceramic , crystal , crayon , and one aluminum . Actually I forgot the one in a slot car set I bought awhile ago so it's really 715 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) No bad on your part, I'm the one who forgot about the slot car. Cobra to left is a Revell Creative Masterpiece die cast and the one to the right is a Franklin Mint Boris Mistress of Fire.

Miatatom Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The one you used as inspiration looks like a Factory Five Spec Racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks guys. I can't say I care much for the wing myself but it was on a real car and adds a little something to my collection weird as it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmaracing Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 great looking cobra Ray. Another masterpiece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Nice job. I'm sure that the wing on the full size more for performance rather than appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Another nicely built cobra, as for the wing, You got to change thins up a bit when you have so many of the same car on display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks guys. Dale you are so right, have to find different ones to model to have more interest in the collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I like the build even with the Wing thingy stuck on there !!! I thought of you Ray when I was at the Shelby Museum a couple of weeks ago. They have display cases full of all the different models of Shelby Cobras but they don't have near 715 Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
