BDSchindler thank you. Sorry for the slow response. Our company is testing for the month of November and December so time is not on my side. The answer to the DeAgostini question is that in our model club, My friend Mark , is the USA representative for the company. Mark has connections all over the world for very expensive big model kits. He has a collection that most hobby shops cannot even come close to. We have become close friends. About 3 years ago he gave me a Toyota 2000 GT to build. I painted it a different color and it became a big hit. The other magazine put it in a “ One great model “ article. That article was noticed in Europe. Mark sent the article to Europe and they asked Mark if I would build models for them. Liam White did the blueprints for the Toyota and the GT 500 for DeAgostini. Liam branched out to build a new company called Agora models. He was impressed with the Toyota and asked me to build a supersnake for Agora. He is in England. I guess this is a tight group of people. I was just lucky to know Mark as he was the one to introduce me to all of these people. So that is it in a nut shell. I want to finish a 1/12 mfh cobra kit that I started but it will have to wait as DeAgostini wants me to build a ford GT, the Red Bull rb7, and the new Ferrari f1 kit that’s comming out. I’m painting a Toyota 2000 GT for a exclusive customer for DeAgostini. Plus the Agora models to complete. So my mfh cobra will have to wait. Here is a picture of the Toyota that started it all.

Sorry for the slow response. And thank you. I will not add more details to the supersnake as I’m supposed to build it out of box for the company. But I did paint the door jams and did some mods to get rid of some heavy seams. The big Red Bull rb7 will be built out of box also. I’m building it as a static kit but will run it this summer as a rc car. Want to see what it will do. Im falling behind on some of these builds. I’m helping Mark ( from DeAgostini) paint a Toyota 2000 GT. 1/10. I’m building a Ford GT for them. 1/8. That one I will add a little more detail. I was informed they want me to build the new 1/8 Ferrari f1 car. That’s a cool build. But I’m running out of time for my other projects. The best part is I get to keep them. All of these big kits are cool. Every modeler should build at least 1. The red Bull f1 car is pretty cool. You still have to paint both body’s. So some modeling skills are involved. Some people have bought 2. One for display and the other to run. Anyway I’m waiting for parts packs to arrive for the supersnake. This covid thing is holding up the parts. The supersnake it a very good build also. I cannot wait for the body to arrive. This will be a centerpiece in my model room. Liam White is not a newcomer to these big kits. They fit excellent, the quality is great and if you want to super detail it, the car will be a knockout. Plus agora models has a cobra 427 to sit beside the supersnake. Now only if they made a grand sport corvette!?!?!

Red Bull RB7. Hope I can post this. It is actually a rc car. But you can build it as a static kit. They supply a static show body and wings plus a clear body and wings for racing the car as a rc car. Since I do not plan to run this car , I am building it as a static kit. It is very large! 1/7 scale DeAgostini kit. Built up the chassis and now fitting the body panels to the chassis. Sand, prime then paint. Apply decals then reclear. I have no idea where to put this after it’s finished. The picture of the tires, the small tire is 1/25 scale. I have put the clear body next to the f1 car and also put a 1/25 amt cobra body next to it to show the scale of this thing. Here is what I have done so far.

Hello guys. I must apologize for the big delay on this build. My friend Mark from DeAgostini has a list of things for me to do. I am building a 1/8 ford GT, 1/7 Red Bull car, Ferrari f1 car and repainting a 1/10 Toyota GT. Plus I am building a 1/8 super snake for Agora models. So they are keeping me really busy with projects. I will come back to this car as soon as I can. The mfh cobra is comming out better than I expected. Cannot wait to come back to this build. Thank you guys for the support.

Here is the size of the 1/8 scale super snake. Next to it is the DeAgostini Red Bull 1/7 scale rc car which can be built as a static car. I will be posting the Red Bull car as a static build. They give you 2 bodies and wings. One for static ,and change the body and it’s a rc car. I do not know where I will be storing these things.

C7R Corvette 2019 Build
Brudda replied to Len Woodruff's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Hello Mr Woodruff. Great build!!!!! Gotta love corvettes!!!! I have something you may want. Free , PM me and I can send it to you.Name plate and logo for the C7. -
I’m very sorry for I have to shelve the cobra for now. I have too many irons in the fire. When I started modeling , I always built a car and finished it. Fast forward to today, I have a super snake build to complete. That is monthly so I have a little time. ( for Liam White ,Marks good friend and owner of Agora models) The DeAgostini Ford GT is the same thing, The parts are hard to get with this Covid thing. My friend Mark ( from DeAgostini) asked me to build the DeAgostini Red Bull f1 car. I have a obligation to him. He helps me with anything so I will help him. It’s 1/7 scale and it’s huge. It’s also a rc car. But has two body’s, one for a static showing and a lexan body to run as a rc car. With the static body , it’s hard to tell it’s a rc car. But I have all the boxes. No waiting for a subscription to arrive. I will come back to the cobra when the Red Bull car is finished. The picture is the 1/12 cobra frame. The other parts are the Red Bull wings and front tire. Just to show the size of the f1 car. I will return to finish the cobra , and yes I get to keep it.

Thank you Randy D. Completed brake lines, fuel lines hydraulic clutch lines. Coil, The oil lines for the cooler. Fitting the radiator support. Was all distorted. Fitting the rear trunk and supports. Not real happy with the trunk silver. Might have to use aluminum for the trunk. So far not a lot of drama.
