cobraman Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Thanks most of you : ) (joke ) Tires are thin but that's what i had and wanted to use. Rex, I am about two builds away from starting that 1/12 Mustang kit you know I have . I am thinking yellow cuz I like the look of yours. What year do you say the kit is, 72 or 73 ?

Dragonhawk1066 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Great looking Cobra so far! I've seen some really good looking results from builders using the Duplicolor 1K clear already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It’s a 71 because it has the 429 but the 72 body is identical. The 73 had a completely different grille and bumper and stripes.

Thanks. My wife was at the WH for 1.5 years a few years ago and applied for a job in South Florida so we are packing up and leaving the high taxes and cold winters. I hope to meet some modelers down there and of course will keep in touch via the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 Thanks fellows very much. I know some of my Cobra builds, let say may be a bit unusual but that is due to the fact that I have north of 750 Cobra's in different materials. You can only have so many blue with white stripes or red with white stripes ect. I need some in my display cases that are not the same old same old.

Lowlife ! ! Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Sure is a beautiful paint job Ray, I look forward to the rest of the build ! As for the duplicolor 1k clear, can you buy small quantities ? And do you mix it with thinners ? I've never found a clear i like and I fancy trying this out !
