cobraman Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Some critics look down their noses on this line of Cobra kits . I will have to agree that they are not the best and are not without problems . I honestly don’t believe they are as bad as some would have you believe . Look at these pics . Does it look like a Cobra . My workmanship may not be the best but for me , it looks ok . I tried to copy the best I could on the photos I posted . I made the two front splitters with sheet plastic as well as the rear diffuser under the rear of the body . I cut down the windshield and frame . The body is painted with Tamiya Pearl White and Tamiya red and green stripes . Body was then cleared . Tire decals from Gofer were used . Do not match photo of real car but I could not find any . I made ( for the first time ) a hinge for the trunk because none is included in the kit . It is clumsy and oversize but the next one will be better . Hope you like it and are not yet sick of seeing Cobras ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Chernosky Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Ray...I will never get tired of seeing Cobra's...especially yours. And I totally agree with you on the Fujimi kit. I have built two of them and was pleased with the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lombardo Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Looks pretty darn good to me. It is a shame the striping paint blead a bit. but short of that, it looks real nice. I have built a number of the Fujimi kits as well as a number of the Revell kits. My only hang-up with the Fujimi kit is the wheel height. I lowered the ride height on my builds and it looks better to me. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
