Yes I will.  Won't start them until after we've moved and settled in.  I was thinking, longer term, of displaying these and others (F12 Novitec N-Largo, La Ferrari, etc,) in a diorama relecting something the Irongate Motor Condos

Most of you probably know I collect Cobra's . Started about 1999 . As I was cruising the bay last week I came across this Cobra kit . I didn't think I had it so I checked and sure enough I had missed it all these years . Not rare at all and in fact there were two others listed . Have no clue how I missed this one . Now I have it . Nothing special and in fact just pretty much the same old kit that has been out in one box or another for years . But I had to have it to add to the unbuilt collection . What else have I missed ??? The search continues !

Ray- that sticker on your box looks like one of these old USPS routing labels.   They were put on the top piece of mail in a bundle... "S" was for mail all going to the same state.  Colors did vary.

If you are looking for vinyl tape that bends, Tamiya has some , its very nice.

https://hlj.com/product/TAM87177

 

Also in sizes 5mm/3mm/12mm

Thanks for the info, but I want really thin tape, even 2mm is way to wide.  I'm really interested in the .4 tape. I know i could always cut my own, but I have no interest in cutting tape down if I can buy it. I've got some 1mm Line O Tape on order but it must be coming on the back of a turtle being led by a snail.  I've been putting off a project until I can find some tape to fit my needs.

Ahh, makes sense,  I have those other tapes, but have not used them yet, but I would think they would be easy to bend a little bit.

The courier arrived today  with three more for the stash. It was pleasing to see this issue of the Belvedere has deeper panel lines and the body is nice and square unlike my earlier release Moebius Belvedere that had faint panel lines and a roof that was twisted.

Have you used this tape before? If so can you tell me if it bends easily to make a tight radius? Is it a vinyl tape?

I haven't opened it yet. At quick glance it looks like paper, like Tamiya tape. 

I have the Tamiya white vinyl bending tape and it's nice, but this .4mm stuff is super tiny. I'll check it out when I get home.

I took a chance and ordered some. I look forward to seeing what you think of it.

Got this truck kit . It will be done up as a flatbed Cobra hauler from the Carroll Shelby shop. It will be hauling a Cobra in some state of finish but I don't think a complete car.

I knew there had be a Cobra somewhere in this purchase. I love Ford's C Series trucks. And found AMT's kit to be pleasure to build. I'm looking forward to seeing the above kit, with its Cobra load when your done building it.
