not sure if they are sold out, http://fein-design-modell.de

a cool build, flares look great .

nice collection Rex

Randy from modelbuilderswh.com has great service and like most suppliers, most kits are out of stock. but Randy will do his best to get parts and kits ASAP. i would send him a message from his web site to get fastest reply.

a quick mock up cobra csx 3016 at sebring . made a heat shield for side pipe

thanks guys, was going for the beat up and over heated side pipes. i have a ferrari hood coming and i hope it's just a little bigger so i can shape it down to fit.

wow that is a lot of builds. they all look great !

nice cobra Ben, tire and wheel upgrade look great.

one finished side pipe only 15 more to go.

Gary , your photo's have been a huge help. so cobra csx 3006 has an extended hood scoop. i made one and it came out alright. but hood from Historic Racing Miniatures Ferrari 250 GT is almost dead on. is it possible they used a ferrari hood scoop on csx 3006? sorry my pic was not a jpeg'

finally got some base colors on some of the parts. first time using Zero Paint and Alclad brand paint . Alclad polished aluminum is now my go to paint for aluminum oil pans

modified hood for csx3006 and filled side exhaust hole for csx 3176

that is great news, hope to see 427 big block #2 decal sheet also .

Gary ...... you are the man! thanks for the great pictures. I kinda figured you would have some pics that no one else has. what an interesting top. in that pic you can see the roll bar has a center support . but doesn't look like it's there in my pic. maybe added later on for a different race and different car number.

thanks Maxx, i have a set of FIA wheels from Historic Racing Miniatures. they make great parts and kits. i need to change the roll bar to no support bar. still researching paint scheme.

i'm back at this project. working on new side pipes and building a right hand drive version. cobra csx 3006 . i don't have a great picture, maybe someone knows if black paint on top extends past trunk as it looks in some pictures, also hood scoop looks extended forward and maybe longer . restored version has 6 spoke halibrands like a 289 comp car. can't tell what wheels it had when raced.

here is a site to get some cool 1/8 scale parts and other scale parts. shapeways.com/shops/3d-model-specialties

Hello Group, back at the hobby table. so you can't finish one project before you start another. My 427 cobra's are close to completion and need bodies painted. Starting this 1/8 gt40 motor . Prototype was done by Mad Mike and sold by Fein-Design -Modell. I think 50 were made. Quality is top notch and fit of the parts is perfect. each part take all bolts and washers like the real motor , so about 20 parts just for the water pump. Hope to see more available 1/8 motor kits by Mad Mike. Cold and rain is keeping me from painting, but will post progress soon.

thanks for the reply Mark. may need to buy a cnc machine someday. will be looking forward to seeing your lola build.

Lola looks insane Mark. any chance of having a set of aluminum rims and inserts made for consumer. i have 3 of these kits i would like to build now that i have some inspiration. Bill

if it could be something other then a car, Fiat Cobra Transporter. gt4 Mustang for a car.

wow, last update was about a year ago. have been working on my 1/1 scale project and took a break to hopefully finish my 427 Cobra's. Sanded off all emblems to use photo etched emblems or decals, cut out side louvers for photo etched part, seat belts done,roll bar extended into interior and holes drilled for roll bar.

recent picture Sears Point

i built these 2 many years ago and i didn't paint interior correct color. looking to build 2 more, any suggestion on a good color match? from recent pictures , it looks like carpet is dark blue and the rest is a lighter flat blue close to looking like cobra viking blue with no metallic.

got it ,thanks JC yah Historic Racing Miniatures makes excellent parts and kits. just picked up the grand sport roadster. great value for what is included.
