This is the first 1/43 with very tiny parts like those hood hinges and fasteners for the tonneau cover that I honestly did not do. I couldn't hold to them with either set of tweezers. Mirrors are one thing on a 1/43 hood hinges are a different story. Thanks everyone!!

Good luck with the builds and I do remember your Monogram 1/43 build of both cars. The F1 cars are a bit challenging but they are beautiful finished. Thank you

I just finished this up yesterday morning. This is a Marsh Models 289 Cobra 1/43 scale. Very nice kit but did use some parts from the Monogram 1/43 Cobra kit like the windshield. The wheels are beautiful and overall just a great resin kit. I used Tamiya British green for paint. I love building 1/43rds from time to time but at 68 not sure how much longer I can deal with tiny parts like hood hinges on this kit. Thanks for looking and comments .

Great job. Years ago I had one 1:1 in bright red with a tan interior. Beautiful car. But it had so many issues that I gave up on it and sold it. Again great job.

I am famous for starting a new kit and leaving the rest behind. I just told my wife two weeks ago that I cannot work on two kits at once even if they are totally different. I often build 1/43 kits and you would think I could work on a resin 1/43 Porsche GT3 race car and a Johan 1969 Roadrunner at the same time. Nope one will fall by the way!!!

Thanks Dan and your right the hood..... forgot about that little issue!!!

Great looking build. I have built a couple of these. Can I ask how you lowered the suspension? My front on this kit has always sat too high in my opinion. Great job.

That is great and on a Revell/Monogram 70 Roadrunner!

Good job. I am a big fan of 1/43 -
Thanks and not easy in some respects with the smallness of the parts. The kit is very nice to build except tiny pieces like tonneau cover rivets. Who is picking those up from a plate with a tweezer? Not me!!

Nice job Michelle

I will hopefully finish this up in the next week. This is the excellent casting from Marsh of a 289 Cobra. The small pieces such as license plate light, hood hinges and rivets for the top will likely kill me. I am adding a few items from the Monogram 1/43 Cobra kit like the Windshield and frame. Thanks everyone. Btw the paint is racing green from a Tamiya can.
