Beautiful paint colour, what is it? Nice Ferrari ?

Nice bunch of builds Doug !?

Awesome to see you back at it Randy...Brings a smile to my face to see updates from you! Cheers my friend, have a great new year building.

Thanks Dann? I forgot to mention the help I received from Bill (65slotcar) who supplied these bumpers

The competition is ramping up for the Cannonball 2020 down in Community builds...check it out... Cars seen in movies or on T.V. ... There are millions of ideas.. I chose to try and build the Cobra from the movie "The Gumball Rally"..because I had a Sam Feinstein Cobra in the pile. i don't think there is too much difference between the two, but,,...I'm hoping the experts will jump in on this one. The movie car colour, I believe to be Sapphire blue... a little lighter than Gaurdsman blue....I think It's a Revell of Germany kit with very vague locating points between the body, interior bucket and chassis.. The first thing I did was destroy that end entrance box ...(man those are a pain).. and got to dry fitting and sanding and filling... I decided early on that I was going to cut out the doors and trunk... the movie car had square cut outs in the hood, so This is csx3243 now after a paint job and mechanical restoration... https://colinsclassicauto.com/inventory/1967-shelby-427-cobra-csx3243-the-gumball-rally-cobra/#prettyPhoto I bought this set of BF Goodrich radial T/A's from Joseph (Fireball model works) some time ago and they are almost perfect...the front sidewalls are just a bit too tall for me... still hunting After trying to grind out the gills, I noticed I had burned right through the exhaust ports on the body so a repair was needed... then I got rid of the gills too ...( don't even ask...) Got a start on the engine And this is where we sit now.... I have also filed down the windscreen fame, thinned all visible body edges, and sanded about 4 linear miles of tubular frame mould lines... my carpal tunnel is plugged More to come as it happens... Please Q+ C +C's welcome Cheers

Looks like some acetone splashed on there...? Good to see you back in it Kurt? Awesome Pete? A bit of update or... fixing of mistakes... One more swipe with the filler goop should do.. On to the hinges and a new gas tank.... Cheers Cannonballers!!

Beautiful job on that Rich... chrome,..interior,...paintwork,...? That is some hip chrome at the B pillar ? Cheers

Wow ...that is really nice work you did there Bill ! Love everything ...grommets thru the firewall, the resin grill and tailgate are top notch, weathering is spot on.. Real Nice.. Cheers

Nice ?

Absolutely more Pics please !! Francis, that is a nice clean finish on that??

Nicely done Ray ?

Nice job getting that finished up Scott ?

I received the 1/64" line o tape and applied it to the edge of the black on this car...

I feel for you Scott.. you guys are getting the short end of the stick for sure...hang in there

Nice start..I saw this model on the shelf yesterday at my LHS and looked at the full custom pics on the box and thought "who in their right mind would ever....?" and now here you are...??? Keep it going

Great techniques .. thanks for sharing..I will be saving this thread?

Colour process sounds good Scott, going to try that on a hunk of plastic first..? Looking forward to more... Cheers

Ya pretty nice door lines when closed,..Nice job ! Cheers

Phil, Craig, Dann, Bob, John, Bruce, Thanks for checking in ? Ya sometimes it's fun to do a fantasy build,...impossible to rivet count for me....lol That 1/64" red tape came in with some gold mini #13 decals so I replaced it, I like it better. Cheers all

Looking good Chris ! I just went over my p/e set..that rear wing stabilizer bracket, will make a huge size difference to the kit plastic. Looks like your leaving some little p/e attachment point burrs, I find I need to use 50X optics to file those little buggers off.? Cheers

That looks great !

Wow those are nice They've really come along way in 15 years ...?

Gives new meaning to the word snowflake and it's connotations dud'nit...? LOL

I was always a free loader on Pbucket,.. and when that went down, I free loaded on imgur for a bit. It was painful to see all of my pics here, and on other sites, blurred with a huge watermark, and I didn't know if imgur was eventually going to try the same blackmail thing. So ya, it was time to buck up and pay the freight,..I just couldn't believe how cheap (75/yr) it was, after all the fiasco of a couple years ago.

Love the budget Nova ??
