    What a great build! I think I saw this dragster in real life. I live close to the Don Garlits museum in Florida and I saw so many drag racing legends there and I know I saw a lot of his dragsters.

    Love all your builds. Would like to see a picture of all of them together on the cabinet where you keep them. Like a lot the stance on the Eliminator.

    Love it. The Flying Tigers. Been wanting to get one of these myself.

    Did you know there is a counterpart for this car? The General Grant, in blue, and an American flag on the top instead.

    I really like this one. One of the best you have done.👍

    Looks great. Do you plan to do the Black Trans Am too?
  7. angelo7
    You are right. I got one too but I added the red numbers (just vinyl stickers) . Just did some flocking to the seat.

    GMP 1988 Mustang GT 1/18 Wish I had a better camera.

    Got tired of the blue one and did some painting. Not completely real life accurate but I wanted this color.

    Does anybody know if modeltruckin.com went out of business? The truck decals web. Never mind. I figured it out. They are here now: https://modeltruckers.com/

    Is this a real car or a model? That engine looks too real!

    The blue one is here. Pardon the ugly photos. Painted gray interiors. They come in black. Swapped the tires also.

    Funny, I did the same thing on the tail pipes but I used a Sharpie. I found photo of an engine of another die cast model and I think I might do a little detail on mine. Not much can be done but a little gray might help.

    The real life car.

    Nice write up. Thanks

    Painted interior gray. Also a little flocking (carpeting). The original interior is black.

    There will be an unassembled blue version

    I posted some photos of this model on the thread titled "What diecast did you get today?" but I would like to make its own thread as I have seen some interest in this model. This is the new Maisto 1/24 Mustang Cobra. I'll post some more photos later with some mods. Engine detail is poor. The original tires don't look good so I changed the tires with the ones from the 1988 model kit as shown on the kit box (last photo). I'll be flocking the floor too. The first photo show the original tires. If you posted photos on that thread also (like user swede70) post the photos here again if you want.

    I started a new thread for this model

    Definitely an improvement from the original tires. The tires from the kit I mentioned above were a perfect fit. We should make a thread just for this model. I'll also be flocking the floor on mine.
  22. angelo7
    Post a pic with the new tires when you swap them. I might even flock the floor to imitate carpeting.

    That's the only flaw I found in this model. I used the tires from this kit and they fit and look great:

    There will be a blue one.

    Engine detail is very poor. Non steerable front wheels. Other than that, it is a very nice model for the price range. The paint job is excellent and parts fitment very good. I changed the tires on this one and painted the interior gray. It is in backorder till May or June. You may find a few on Ebay for double the price. https://www.ebay.com/itm/305483148460
