Looking for on line photos of this Cobra
Gramps46 replied to cobraman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think Steelers43 Fotki site has captured just about all the photos that I have and have been posted here and elsewhere. The History of CSX 2001 is fascinating having been assembled in the Ed Hugus shop in Pittsburg and sold to a Dr. in Pennsylvania and then sold to Europe for racing. After many body changes it ended up with Bruce Meyers in CA and restored though not in its original shape. Wait I did find this photo in my files not in Fotki and might be useful for front end detail. -

I updated the number decals to be more accurate and I added the signal lights on the right side. I also added correct Ferodo decals copied from the Fujimi P4 kit.

1958 Porsche RSK F3

Very well done Terry. I have just the body but have never seen one built up. Thanks for sharing. -
When will I ever learn? I went looking for a 1968 Corvette in 1/24 scale and came across this one. I found this JADA 1979 ZL1 which looked pretty interesting. It arrived yesterday and it is huge, relatively speaking compared to the Otaki, Sunnyside, and Franklin Mint. Using Google Translator I Iooked up JADA and in Chinese JADA means not to scale. OBTW, the bumpers off the Sunnyside are going on the Otaki which did not come with bumpers.

The wheels are resin copies of the 3 piece wheels in the Monogram Mercedes 196 F1 I believe. In the reference link above is a full side on photo which I think I can copy the number circles and print onto decal film for more accurate numbers. I also found that by slicing the vinyl headlamp comers longitudinally and put them back on they lie down a lot better. I will add the number lights and the side marker lights in the next upday.

Snake, I have a blue one if you are interested.

In 1967 a Ferrari entered by Scuderia Filipinetti won the GT class at Le Mans while Ford won overall. This alloy bodied 275 GTB/C 09079 Ferrari was the last competition prepared Ferrari to run on wire wheels. This is an older Italian made BBurago model which has replacement resin cast wheels and a few competition features added and decals from the parts box. Oops - I left off the colored signal lights on the right hand side. Reference: 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Competition Coupe by Pininfarina Chassis 09079, engine 09079 (conceptcarz.com)

Let's See Some Glue Bombs!

I can probably help with parts. Do you need the instructions? -
This morning I went ahead and removed the springs holding the 911 up in the air. I also discovered the releases for the front and rear lids.
