The Cobra kit is not like the typical old metal axle AMT/MPC kits. The wheels press onto the suspension like a snap kit. I don’’t have the kit nearby but here is a picture of the rear “axle.”

Are you referring to the kit that is the old Monogram model from 1988 which Revell acquired and has reissued many times? I do not remember any issues with the kit when it was released but that was 30 years ago and the wheel centers went on with e gentle push.

Thanks. Over the years I’ve been to different events and even my wife dressed as Leia a few times.

Is this the Falfa you’re looking for?

These are from about ten years ago.

Look well worth the effort from what you started with and a great build. 👏

Amazing build and workmanship.

Prices of vintage kits that may never get built by anyone. It’s a box of parts. While newer kits might be better, finding a partially built 60 year old kit at a reasonable price and rebuilding it is worth it when people comment they have not seen that particular kit built in decades.

Welcome and prayers for your friends. Looks like you are on the right track with the build. Bill Geary aka MrObsessive built thisGT350R 30 years ago before 3D printing and the wide availability of aftermarket resources we have now.

I may but most of my kits are supplies are still boxed up from moving last year and are in another state.

Fantastic build.

NIce build and the lights are awesome.

I need to get back to this project. I do not want to break my record of taking a few decades to finally finish the 70 Boss 302 T/A car that i converted from the street Monogram kit. I attached that picture with an older 1/43 build and one of how the Tope car looked a few years ago,

I cannot speak for Randy but given the time that has passed it looks like Model Builders Warehouse is gone.

Great looking VW bus. I’ve seen lots of under glass posts of diecast models with minor detailing up to a complete repaint, wheels and tire swaps, and detailing to the point the original diecast looks completely different. Keep up the good work.

That would be great so never say never but they should redo the interior and chassis to 1970 specs instead of using carryover parts from early Mustang kits.

Norman and Brad are usually there.

And he still is but I do not think he does complete kits anymore.

I would be interested in a decal list also. Thanks

Looks like this July.

Great pictures and story Andy. Glad the show could be held a day early given the bad weather.

Looks nice but no engine in this model?

Kevin Lutz was at one time so with the reissues kit coming out it make increase the interest. If not probably one of 3D casters may take advantage of the opportunity.

Per Rays Decals of North America Facebook page today. If you pre-paid for your order AND all of your decals have arrived, you should have gotten a USPS Tracking email by now. 16 of the oldest orders were completed and taken to the Post Office just before they closed at 2:00 pm CST. Since I got home, I completed 13 additional orders, which will go to the Post Office first thing when they open in the morning at 8:00 am CST. Stay tuned as you will FINALLY be getting your decals. If you did NOT get an email from USPS, that means that one or more of your decals has not reached me yet. Ray is planning to pack and ship another box for me Sunday night & we hope FedEx can pick up on Monday morning. These would likely reach me on Wednesday or Thursday, and this process will start all over. There is also a chance that he may need to send one final box the following Monday. Once I get these I will quickly ship all completed pre-paid orders. Next step is pre-reserved orders. I have pulled aside all applicable decals and packaged them. I will reach out to all affected customers to finalize their order and send a PayPal Invoice. The sooner these get paid, the sooner they ship! After I complete this process, I will begin to post pictures of available decals here on the Facebook Page. I will give the same advice I always do, if you see something you want, PM ME RIGHT AWAY!!! Once folks see the actual decals they sell out quickly almost every time. Stay tuned for updates!

Neither kit came with a distributor which I thought was odd but it is up against the bulkhead and I guess whoever designed the kit could not see it on the real car so they just left it out. Pretty inexcusable for a kit in that scale. Yes the kit does not have the spare tire either like the real MKII but there are some aftermarket ones you can buy as well as better seats but after buying all that you will be spending more on the extras than the kit. I bought a 3D distributor from a site I found online.
