great link!! is there an english version of website?

I have not yet tried the Zero Paint clear and Cobra Guardsman Blue that i have purchased. How does Gravity Paint compare to Zero Paint ? quality of finished product. i do like the use of finer based metallics for a more realistic look. Has anyone tried both? Bill (back on the cobra projects)

that's insane work Michael !! sign me up for one , maybe 2 or 3

nice job Ray !

Rick, thanks for pointing this out. i have some of the gauge faces from best models and didn't use because it was hard to cut out gauge exact (not a pre-cut decal) will try to fix on future builds. Bill

Pat , looking good so far. wire wheels were more common on 289 cobra's. the 427 cobra's were shipped with wire wheels put on backward with a 3 -eared knock off to clear big brakes. then 7.5 halibrands were installed when delivered. but what the hell ,it's just a model. put what you like on it. let's see some more!

will test on junk wheels, wheels should have little shine.

thanks Richard, a few updates. added supports tubes under dash and now have correct carbs installed. all radiators done. a little carbon build-up on carb or dirt since they didn't race with air cleaner and tried to replicate fuel filter

thanks Steve, i picked some alcad II gloss black base , polished aluminum and airframe aluminum to try out . will try to get some results posted. going for the dirty side of polished aluminum since rims are for a 60's race car.

looking for best method to replicate polished aluminum on wheel rims. Has anyone tried C1-metalizer? thanks, Bill

Cobra and truck look great, i really like how the rear flares turned out on Cobra.

maybe just lucky, but i ordered from them about a year ago and had no problem.

they look great, now a 65 and 69 for book ends

nice work and awesome detail !

I have not seen a dyno result for the Bullit Mustang, but the new 2018 gt 5.0 with auto is no joke . Putting out 437 hp at the rear wheels. (due to auto losing less power) Now , about test driving a new Mustang.......I worked at a Ford dealer body shop and had to fix a 2016 Shelby gt350. Of course i had to test drive after repairs were done. Big mistake! Could not stop thinking about how insane this car was. The next year i had to buy one. 2017 #0211 lightning blue 526 hp at crank and 8200 redline or shift point.

my commuter 97 ranger, weekend car 17 shelby #0211 lightning blue .

Lost one of the great race drivers of all time. RIP Dan.

great ! sign me up for one of these!

nice build and paint work. your hood looks much better than the original 1/1 car. a set of miniltes from Fireball modelworks would compliment the great work already done. https://www.modelbuilderswh.com/collections/wheels-tires?page=2

Randy, will see you there . looking forward to show!

Tom, the 2E by IMC is a tough kit to build and kinda small at 1/25 scale. Kits i like and have are 2d by Modelers, 2c by LS , 2f and 2e by Fisher, 3 small boxes to the right are slotcar bodies by Fein Design Modell, they are pricey for just a body but awesome detail and quality.

i agree one of the best looking race cars . even though i'm a big time Ford fan, i'm also a big time Chaparral fan. got a big box of future builds. nice build Tom, look into Chaparral wheels by HRM Historic Racing Miniatures they look great and can be purchased at https://www.modelbuilderswh.com/pages/about-us

added some gauge rings and finished a couple batteries

ok, not all 9 are getting full detail. i would but i don't have many photo etched detail kits by Hobby design. can't find any supply anymore. working on steering wheels , scratch built batteries and gauges on dash. to replicate glass for gauges, i tried 2 part opoxy but it yellowed and hard to work with. i tried floor wax (pledge) took forever and would not build up fast enough. found this product on-line. art resin (artresin.com) mix1:1 work time 45 minutes,dries in 24 hours and full cure in 72 hours. super user freindly and great results. comes out crystal clear. also used on center cap on steering wheel

was hard to see in picture, yellow Allen Grant cobra did have fender spats under 3 logo decals. AFX , cobra looks awesome !
