Brudda

Thank you BERT100

Jonny , thank you for the heads up on that rear bumper. Mine has it also. I will strip it, fill it and prime and use revell spray chrome. WOW it’s a very big wave in the bumper. Mine has a small wave in the center as well. Thanks again.

Hello Carl. Thank you . I’m thinking of a burgundy , brandy wine color. I love maroon on a GTO. But a burgundy will make it more exciting. I forgot to mention, Jays wheels and tires

Thank you.

Thank you and for the advice. I’ll keep a heads up on that

A 1/24 monogram GTO. 1985 kit. Modified the suspension for the tires and wheels. Prepped the body and primed it. It’s an old kit but overall it’s not bad. Using some parts from the foose impala kit. Door handles and windshield wipers so far. I have a model car garage photo etch set I’m going to use. Also going to use revell chrome paint for the bumpers. It’s an old kit but seems to cleanup nice . There are things that are old like the exhaust is molded in the rearend. The door panels are not separate, stuff like that. Well here goes. This is going to be a slow , fun build.

She will make you a millionaire if your a billionaire

Thank you Carl

Rex, here is the bbr kit. Compared to the monogram. Nice detail on top, but no comparison to the monogram on the bottom side

Thank you Stuart. Yes the parts are so small that I did have a hard time during assembly.

Thank you Rex. Monogram did a very good job on these kits. I have a bbr kit and it has half the detail at triple the price. I also am surprised these did not catch on especially in the European and Japanese market place. I do know the European market is upset that model factory hiro stopped producing 1/43 kits. And they are expensive but not at $1000, WOW

A 1/43 cobra from monogram. Out of box. Pretty cool kit. I built a 1/43 corvette and the cobra is a tougher build for some reason. Every one should try a 1/43 at least once. I built 2 and that’s it. Too small for my old eyes. Back to the big stuff.

FINISHED! This cobra was a handful for me for some reason. The corvette just went so smoothly but this cobra was a handful. The cobra looks much more simple but it is a lot harder build than the corvette. If you bought the cobra first and built it you probably would not buy the corvette. It’s completed as a very early 289 cobra. I did forget the dash mounted rear view mirror. I saw it after the windshield was installed so it stayed off. It has a fender mounted rear view mirror but not brave enough to install it. The base of the mirror is so small, I do not know how it would stay on anyway. So it’s finished. Thanks for following and everyone should try a 1/43 once in their life. I told Mr Alverez that I would build one someday , here it is . I built 2 and I believe that is it. Back to the big stuff. A 1/12 mfh cobra Daytona coupe.

Front bumper and rear bumper installed. License plate painted and installed. Pic of the dash. Next is the windshield and other little emblems, wipers and gas filler. Then it’s finished. You really have to be calm putting parts on this little car. Bumpers were a nervous task , they just wanted to flip around. Not good when you have glue on them.
