chris4q Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 It's been a long time since I put something up so here goes. Here's a project that I'm working on right now. It's a 1/24 Revell Cobra slot car with a twist. I wanted a little more detail so I'm using a Monogram 1/24 Cobra static kit for parts. I have all the original parts from the Revell Cobra Slot kit but they were so basic I decided to do this. All the holes were filled and re drilled to fit the new parts. I also modified the side of the body to take side pipes. Some of the other parts were modified to fit the Revell body. Why do all this on a Revell body? Why not modified the static kit body? I wanted to keep most of this slot car original. The car will need another primer then a good sanding and it's ready for a blue and white stripe paint job. Modifying this car was no easy task. It took a long time. It looks easy but it was a real pain to line up the holes to fit the new parts. Note... I do have spinners for the wheels but forgot to shoot them. Note...The company hosting my images went out of business. I have to redo "everything"... dear me. ;( Well I'm finally finished with the Cobra. Here are some pics of the car. You'll notice I've left the windows unglued. I've given the Cobra a 2nd window screen so if this was to be raced then all that needs to be done is to change out the window. A long project but it seem to come out well in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one beautiful paint job, and a gorgeous color to boot, what is it? All around great work, I'd leave it in a case rather than risk scratching it up!
