Len, Daytona Coupes look great and really like it in red. i wonder if Carroll Shelby did that to take a jab at Ferrari and piss off Enzo.

Gary, outstanding looking Super Coupe ! don't know why , but not many Daytona Coupe model kits on e-bay. missed out on the model factory hiro kit.

nice build Rex

nice build and excellent paint work

thanks guys for all comments and positive feedback.

thanks Ray, yah i have never built a raced version with rock chips ,dirt and oil. will have to work on that. for now i will just cop-out and say it's a restored version.

build #6 an early 427 cobra csx 3006 with racing history. won Brands Hatch in 1966 with drivers David Piper and Bob Bondurant

thanks bruce, yes rims are aluminum. detail master part #DM 3154 cut down a resin cast wheel for insert

thanks for all the positive feedback. all kits are 1/24 revell/ monogram kits . here is a group shot so far, back row is work in progress

5th cobra done from my team shelby project. cobra csx 3071 a continuation cobra with no real historic racing background.

thanks guys for the positive feedback and comments. i believe this is the white number 11 cobra in spin -out and MGM wrecked the car during the filming.

thanks Gary, i used Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing silver by Zero paint ZP-1296 My Cobra registry doesn't state what silver was used but the driver Lothar did own a Mercedes Benz dealership at the time.

finished my 4th cobra build. csx 3012 driven by Lothar Motschenbacher.

thanks guys for all the positive comments. i do build other car kits, just wanted to finish this mass build before i start on a couple early year Grand Sport Corvettes.

thanks David, he also raced a 289 comp cobra before he raced the 427 with same number . i quess it didn't bother him

3rd cobra done from team shelby project. cobra csx 3020 driven by Tom Payne known as the gentleman driver as he would race in a suit.

nice job on the Boss

nice build and extra details look great

"Guardsman Blue ...... there ain't no such thing ....... the painters would all get drunk on Friday and they wouldn't show up. Whatever the painter that week thought was Guardsman Blue to him, that was Guardsman Blue, see, so there might be 500 different colors of Guardsman Blue." Carroll Shelby.

thanks guys for all the positive comments. yah they are a bit too shiny, will have to try a race weathered version someday with dirt ,grease,rock chips and dull paint.

thanks guys for all the positive comments Larry, the hoods do open and my first 2 builds have the least amount of detail. build thread is posted on the workbench, shelby team 427 cobra's. i use Zero paint primer and base coats with automotive House of Kolor clear. blue is Guardsman blue part #ZP-1080 and silver is Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing part # ZP-1296. #11 CAR has decals from monogram kit and #6 car has studio 27 decals. most all other cars i'm doing have V-R-M decals and they are by far the best decals i have used so far.

yah some of the Zero paint can be hard to get. but i do like how it sprays out from an airbrush and dries really fast. hobbyworld-usa.com has Metallic blue red bull-toro rosso part# 1140 zero paint . maybe not exact but close and you can add a little silver to lighten up color.

great looking build Gary !

my 2nd cobra build from my mass cobra project. csx 3016 driven by Bob Grossman 1966 Bahamas Nassau trophy race. car is better known with stripes and paint sceme from sebring race.

also Shelby Mustang in picture looks more like Acapulco blue and that color is lighter then guardsman blue. that might help in search of exact color your looking for.
