First off, you're doing a great job, Bud!!, and you always find unique ways to build Cobras. Secondly, i agree with everybody else...Fujimi really dropped the ball on this one...having said that, i also agree that this is a Fun kit to build, and looks great on the shelf. I treat it like its a kit of one of the kit car offerings...thats how i can, and will build mine. Looking forward to more!!!

Okay, everyone, i have got quite a bit done to show you all. My main focus right now is to finish everything that has to do with, or is interactive with the body so that i can primer, and paint. The doors are functional now, but i still need to make the struts for them before i can paint. I also need to fix a drivers door gap issue, clean up the base of the A-pillars, and etch the gas filler door. Lots of little nit-picking bits to finish....it feels like the list never ends, lol -Photo 1; To break up the flat...boring side, i decided to take a note from Pagani, and Mclaren with these side fins...they still need shaping. -Photo 2; This seems to be the best spot for the petrol cap door. Still need to scribe it. -Photo 3; Heres the bit i need to add too to close the gap. -Photo 4; I needed to add a lip for the side glass to attach to. -Photo 5; Just a view of the doors, and hinge work. I prefer to make things as much as i can out of plastic, and my hinges are no exception. I've never been too keen on the not so realistic metal wire kind. I will show how plastic hinges can look the part better, and still be strong enough for use. As you can see, i used an angle rod that is glued to the body opposite the door side. The super glue is built up here a bit so that it can flex enough to slide the door-pin under it into place -works a treat, and is easy, and strong! -Photo 6; To me there is no point in having the passenger door open, since all the details are on the drivers side, so the hinge is just a location nub to help glue the door shut. -Photo 7; This is how the dash and seats look sofar. -Photo 8; The petrol filler tube. Now that it lines up with the door, i will snip it shorter for more realism. -Photo 9; Slots for the hinges. -Photo 10; Adding sheet styrene for more visual interest to a flat, boring firewall. -Photo 11; If you look at the original chassis, you will notice that i reworked the interior tub, and removed alot of rear bulkheads. Eventually there will be a motor, so i needed to do this now, rather than after its been painted. -Photo 12&13; The new footwell creates a great contact for the dash! -Photo 14; Another good view of the door hingework. -Photo 15&16; The door nub works well, and will look like the functional one in the end. -Photo 17-20; The door functions perfectly! Notice the shaded tip of the door fin...it will be cut away, and a side marker will take its place. -Photo 20; The filler tube lines up nicely.
