Greg Myers Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Rex, what are you showing us in your picture ? Super detail. Looks better than my Exoto 1/18th diecast. https://www.exoto.com/s/1/ProductOverview.aspx?Language=en&CategoryId=158 Edited August 21, 2018 by Greg Myers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 If Accurate Miniatures had made it longer than it did......we would have gotten a full range of Cobras.....they had done the design work for a number of high end die cast so info was in house.

The Junkman Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 About 4 years ago Academy promised a Daytona Coupe, even had it illustrated in the future release file and then "poof", gone like vapor. A modern 289 in the street, USRRC, and FIA bodies would be like printing money. A 427 with bulged rear fenders as most all the race versions had should be pretty easy. I have to believe that licensing was/is the bugaboo. Carroll Shelby never met a dollar that he didn't want a piece of and it seems the company continues that tradition.

SfanGoch Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Checked the Shelby Store and this is available for $59.95. Lots of other nice 1/18 diecasts listed, all of which are superbly detailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps46 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 K&B did two hard plastic Daytona slot bodies and they are different. They are small but will fit on an AMT chassis I believe. Unfortunately the clear glass is molded into the bodies. Here along with my Gunze and Lindberg kits.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps46 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 This is the only slab side in 1/24th scale that I have or am aware of. Of course it is a diecast and the wire wheels are not so great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
