nice kit, always like ford race cars. a guy on e-bay has a great set of wheels for this kit seller name scale-details-com item number 301703538497

nice build Ray, i like the blacked out bumpers,sidepipes and rollbar.

awesome cobra !! 1/16 scale ?? nice work and great detail.

will post some progress pics when i start. going to finish up some monogram cobra's first. the Model Factory Hiro kits are not cheap but worth it for quality and detail. i am not wealthy by any means. just slightly crazy about Shelby American Cars. and just plain crazy

i would only clearcoat the body. i use rattle cans to paint chassis, interior and others parts and use an airbrush on body for a better smooth finish. clear coat may not always be lacquer. stick with one brand for primer, base coat and clearcoat and you should have good luck. i like zero paint. they have a special primer for plastic, metal and resin cast. they have great base coat colors that match original colors like sunoco blue and sunoco yellow for stripes. clear coat is designed to work on all of there paint products . just mist coat over decals for the first coats. hope this helps out.

these little gems arrived in the mail today. . i will be warming up by building some monogram 427 cobra's before i even think about starting on these kits.

most supplies bought at local hobby shop. but a great paint system primer ,basecoat and clearcoat is from zero paint and can only be purchased at hobbyworld-usa.com in the us.

great details and nice work !

looking good with the gold wheels, are you going with decals for this build ?

very nice work, that looks like a decal nightmare !

dam, how did you find that! i looked everywhere for a picture. awesome pic! you will need to add the oil fill cap on right fender for this version. Bob Grossman drove this car and like many cobra's they had many different paint jobs and numbers. here is a 1967 picture, i think watkins glen

shelby american racing history by dave friedman page 61

yes sebring set should be red ,white and blue. the #4 set nassau 1966 solid black stripe should be correct and was a silver car. will try to find a picture in one of my books.

i could use those big block snake decals also. hint ....hint. patto's place has this decal set . #6 with wide black stripes was a silver cobra.

nice cobra build

this is a great kit. and can be made into many different versions . i have the #2 car built also. and yes that is a good book for reference.

thanks for posting instructions, will have to try out on my next grand sport build.

thanks for sharing pictures. 65 r-model mustang looking bad-ass! interesting that it has 1966 side scoops on it.

that is just insane !! but looks awesome

nice job on the shelby's, looks cool with the hub cap style wheels because you don't see them used much.

looks beautiful and the detail really make it stand out

got it. they all look great. need to get going on mine.

great info, does the sunny kit build up better then the monogram 427? from the picture on the box it doesn't look very good. small tires sticking out past fender

project looks great ! i have been out of modeling for a while, what is a Sunny cobra? the body looks perfect !
