Maybe try another spray nozzle.

Very nice. Where did you get the 1/16 Cobra emblem decals for the hood and trunk.

Very nice work given they were all done in half a years time.

It’s the “shipping and handling” to pump up the sellers profit. I find it ridiculous that people are willing to buy something in the store (like Hotwheels cars) for $1 and sell them for $2. The time involved for the sale less the fees Ebay and PayPal charge make selling one item not worth it. A seller can probably ship five cars for the price of one and Ebay does give the seller a discount on USPS priority mail which may not be passed onto the buyer. It seems like nobody want to ship decals or thin items in a standard envelope. The USPS charges a minimum amount for a small envelope if it is over the maximum thickness or for a small box. I always try to combine purchases from the same vendor only if they combine shipping. I’ve ordered stuff from Europe and paid less for shipping than what some of the major online places charge.

I missed this post. Fantastic job on the movie car. There was a UK company that did a limited number of resin kits but I cannot find any as I am sure they sold out a long time ago.

Great pictures on this website.

Doesn’t everyone love Cobras.

I’m guessing the MENG kit since it has an engine. ?

I am looking to trade the two wide wire wheels and tires (on the left) for two of the skinny ones (on the right) from the GTM kit.

Nice to see all three excellent builds together.

These may work. You might find the UMI ones on Ebay but it’s a long shot. Spot Model has more European sponsor decals.

Welcome back and your ride is amazing. You will find a lot of talented and enthusiastic builders here and they are always willing to offer advice and tips on where the find unusual parts.

I ordered this 1/43 resin cast model a few weeks ago.

I think I have a have a glue bomb one buried in storage and am slowly going through the boxes I packed up 400+ plus kits.

If only that were the case. It’s the same weird body as the Sunny and Revell kits.

At least the photo etch, decals, wire wheels and extra parts make the kit slightly better than the Revell “FIA” version. As JC (AFX) noted the body the same as the Revell/Sunny kits.

It’s basically the mostly the original AMT kit with the Sunny 427 retooled body that has cutouts for the side exhaust. It mostly resembles a fiberglass kit 427 body on an original AC chassis. As I mentioned above the GTM kit is very similar but the box art clearly shows the stock 289 body. Not a problem for me as I will use the AMT kit body and save the body for other kit bashing.

I used my points once to get a gift card but it took about three weeks to get it. Never again.

Turned out very nice. I would have been tempted to add detailing but you captured the look of an original promo very well.

Very nice. The GTM kit has the same modified body as the Revell kit even though on the box it shows the stock 289 slab side body.

Your are so right about those side windows. ☹️

Eric is looking for suspension parts.

Certainly some differences between the two manufacturers (Aurora and LS) but either one is nice to have.
