kpnuts Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hi all just won this on ebay, never heard of this Airfix kit before so no idea of quality or accuracy. Now I just have the tedious job of waiting for it to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I do believe it's the same as this one............... Pic courtesy of eBay. I built one a loooong time ago. Not a bad kit at all and I can't remember any big issues with it. I can tell you that prices for those according to what I just saw on the 'Bay are outta sight! I have this kit unbuilt and I had no idea those are getting big dollars for them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 It is the same. There is also an AMT branded kit which is also the same. Good score on the Airfix one , I have been searching for one complete for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Here is a pic of the AMT one . There are 2 Airfix ones on eBay and one looks good but they are both overseas and I hope to find one in the states . I am tempted to pull the trigger on one of them .

cobraman Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Its the shipping that is giving me pause. I look forward to your build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I built the AMT version about 30 years ago. I don't recall anything specific about the kit. I think it was one of the first kits I ever entered in a model contrast. I built it and sold it to a gentleman who owned a real Cobra. I have few 4" x 6" photos if it (this was before digital cameras). I should scan them and post them someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the MPC and AMT/ERTL kits, why would you want to get the Airfix version? Aside from the cost, they're the same kit. I'm just asking, Ray.

Many AMT 1/25 Cobras from different releases but they are all mostly the same . I guess I’m just a Cobra nut . I have north of 750 ( not all are kits ) all sizes and materials . Lots I don’t have and that is one of them . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
