vamach1 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I think that other magazine did a review on this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 I guess this one should really be in the drag section. If noticed by those who can please move it. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250 Testa Rossa Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The wheels that were originally on the car were six slot Halibrands. These can be purchased from Historic Racing Miniatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 I actually bought a set of them including tires but for another project. I think I will just live with the ones in the kit. Won't be an exact replica but close enough for me on this one. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 Managed to get chassis and engine done . As said prior it won’t be an exact replica of the real car but as close as I can get it with kit parts and limited talent . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The Revellogram 427 Cobras are great kits. Nice work Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 On your next 427 build Ray maybe you scrape the chrome from the air filter exposing the white plastic. I de-chromed this one and just painted the top aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Thanks guys. Thanks for the tip JC, that's a good looking engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 I have seen pics where the side pipes are silver and some where they are black. Also pics were the chrome oval bar around the grill opening is there and some where just the upright portions are on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) I don't have a lot of reference photos on this car but the period photos I do have the headers are flat black and only the bumperettes are installed at the front.

randyc Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 It's a good looking model when finished. I did that one when it was firt released. Definitely stands out among the road race cobras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I only have a few photos of CSX3159 but thought these might be useful. Unusual roll bar. Love the moon eyes on the breather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 JC, are you thinking that the pics I found are perhaps the car being restored ? Was it ever restored ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 read somewhere long ago this car was found and restored. How accurate it is , I have no idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
