These are the kit wheels and tires. The kit is the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C. Engine photos request to be honoured presently... Thank you all for your comments.

I think it is as it came out of the box, but also I set the suspension with the wheels-side-up. It is standing on a soft surface too, so it sinks a little.

Yep, should be green and white with loads of decals, but I like 'em in black.

Hello all! Well only THREE years later (!) I got around to finishing some details on this little stunner. So many projects to get on with, but as I was doing some photography I thought I should show this little beast in all its glory. Enjoy.

Have not been here for over a year, other projects on the go, but I thought I would drop another picture now that I am itching to get back to the bench. Thanks!

Modifications to the standard model include; Exhaust tips lengthened, inlet trumpets lengthened, rear piggy-back transmission oil cooler, all hoses, control cables through cockpit, steering/suspension arms and brackets at front, naca ducting, body pin recesses and riveted body fairings. It is indeed a 1/18th model. One of Tamiya’s first plastic cars, and originally battery-powered motor-driven in original 1970 format. It still has the battery compartments and their hinged covers in the chassis side pods on this 1995 version.

After taking these pictures I can see some small details need to be finished. But no rush. I am however very happy with the body and engine modifications; the Naca ducts on the doors and body pin recesses, plus the riveted-on fairing over the oil cooler and rear wheels make a huge difference to the whole piece. All in all I am satisfied with my first (finished) scale car model in decades!
