    You did not want anyone to catch up to how many Cobras you built. Nice job by the way. Sometimes things do turn out well in the end.

    There's is a lot you can do with this kit depending on much detail or how much you want to spend. Here are various versions including a 67 transkit and the HRM converible and an old Mini Exotics conv. The engine compartment is the main issue as it is lacking everything except an engine and battery. Adding correct shock towers and braces is an improvement but using the 67 GT350 chassis is much better.

    I was very happy with MADs quick service. I wish I could say the same for VCG. Almost six weeks and no parts, just more promises.

    One of my oldest builds in the corral. I'm guessing I built it in the late 80's but it still looks okay.

    Here are a couple builtups I will eventually recycle. One is a resin body. It is interesting how AMT made minor changes to the emblems to make each one a little different.

    Great progress and cannot wait to see it finished.

    To build a 73 Eleanor you will need a stock hood and the turn signals under the front bumper. The movie Mustang was a 71 or 72 which had the 73 grille added on. The rear had a non factory blackout treatment similar to a Boss 351 and the hood also had a non factory black stripes. This Greenlight diecast comes pretty close to being accurate although I think the movie car had a orange tint. The 1/18 diecast is bad - too many inaccuracies to mention.

    Beware of this thread.

    You might get away with painting the scoop and decals for the rest with a lot of Microsol. I rarely see decals though due to the problem you described, most people just mask the lines and paint them.

    I bet that undercarriage is a whole lot better than the MPC one. Excellent job sir.

    Yes, Brad would be all over that.

    I remember AMS and have some of the old magazines. What year did it fold? It's too bad there is not a current national organization dedicated to cars. IPMS is too heavily dominated by military modelers.

    What is next - the resin convertible transkit from HRM? It uses the far superior AMT 67 Shelby chassis.

    Super nice. Is it grabber blue or Ford corporate blue?

    77 Boss 302

    Not sure if that exhaust would be legal but anything done to a Mustang II is an improvement. Is the engine from the Cougar kit?

    I bough the print on Ebay.

    Excellent job on a challenging kit. I like the darker green versus the lighter stock color.

    Shelby Cobra

    vamach1 replied to dlh's topic in Model Cars

    Monogram 427 kit with wire wheels which usually came on the 289's. That big block would have twisted those rims like pretzels.

    Not gold but it is the right year.

    The links come up blank.

    Just remember to look up the firing order of the engine you are building or you model will not run right.

    I like the use of different colors on the suspension and drivetrain. It makes them stand out. I like the color but black is my favorite.
  23. vamach1
    Built about ten years ago.

    Jaguar green.

    Not sure if you covered the Cobra emblems with foil. The paint will build up and be hard to remove. The respray looks much better.
