Looks real good; especially that first photo.

[afx]

Very nice.  Is this the Revell kit?

Yep, should be green and white with loads of decals, but I like 'em in black.

Looks menacing (as it should ?)

Mitchy: have you lowered the stance ? (If so how ?)
Built one 1/2 year ago, did not sit quite as low as yours seem to do

Very nice and mean looking.  The fenders give me an idea.  I may cut up a Cobra body and use them on a T/A Mustang I want to build that has very wide fenders.

[cobraman]

That is one fine looking Cobra !

[larman]

Wow! Super nice! I thought it was a real Cobra at first glance.

[Gramps46]

Very well done and I like the stance and the photos too.  Thank you for sharing it with us.

[Hi-Po]

Outstanding!! Very realistic and the attention to details is spot on.  Great job.  Also, I love the overall black finish.

[Phildaupho]

Great looking Cobra and I really like your photos

I think it is as it came out of the box, but also I set the suspension with the wheels-side-up.

 It is standing on a soft surface too, so it sinks a little.

Very cool looking Cobra, and nice work... love the color and extra details you put into it! ... ??

And I agree with kjohan about the lowered stance ... Both of the Revell Cobras I’ve built so far came out a touch higher at the rear fenders and a bit higher yet at the fronts than yours looks, and both of mine sit with the exact same stance.

 ***Wait, aha!... After just looking back at your pics it appears that you have a taller profile tire than the kit comes with, which would make the stance appear lower. Are they a different tire?

Also, if you have any engine shots would love to see those too

I agree.

Very realistic.

[happy grumpy]

supercool Cobra. The first photo could be the cover page of a car magazine. Really gorgeous.

[Dragonhawk1066]

That is fantastic!

[Classicgas]

Very nice. 

[papajohn97]

Would also love to know what tires and wheels you used on this build, (resin after-market?), they make a world of difference on the realism of this very nice Revell Cobra. Your photography is fantastic as well.

[Ulbo]

Cool mean sinister perfect!!!! ? Stunning

[rightrudder]

Stunning! That paint is glass smooth.

Another request for engine shots, please.

[ChrisR]

Awesome!

[Koellefornia Kid]

Well spent three years! Looks great!

These are the kit wheels and tires. The kit is the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C.

 

Engine photos request to be honoured presently...

 

Thank you all for your comments.

Didn't go overboard with the details, but it's all there! Apologies, these are iphone pics.
