LOL, it is a huge kit. You will need a big table.,

Hello rrb124@sbcglobal.net. I really do not know yet , but about 20” is about right. My cobra is 19” so it’s at least that.

Put the air cleaner’s on. Kind of a shame it covers the carbs. They just press on 4 stainless steel posts. So I can remove them.

Hello Ray. How’s the cobra? Hope it’s going great for you. Thank you but it’s all the kit. I just assembled it. No mods. Here is a pic of the clutch spring and arm. Which is covered. They did not have to put the spring in , but they did. Really nice. The last pic is what little the spring is showing. You probably cannot see it when the engine is in the car. I’m impressed with this kit. You have to model it a little , but a great kit.

LDO I will let you know when this comes out. April is the time of introduction. Here are pics of the engine completed. Out of box. Pretty cool engine that’s stock.

Here are the air cleaners I’m going to leave them off for awhile. It just looks too cool without them. I will put them on later

Agora will have it soon. This is not a prototype but a ready to go kit. I’m assembling it for agora to see any issues. So far it’s great. You have to model it a little. Like drill holes a little bigger. I have used glue to hold some parts. Supposed to be pressed fit, but I suggested to use a little glue. This car is complex. I’m very impressed with it so far. But there are people going to complain about something. A lot of these guys are not modelers that buy these kits. So sometimes they are a little confused. The modelers on this forum are pretty good builders and would have no problem with this kit. I’m building it out of box to see if there are any issues. So far I’m very impressed. Check out this engine, still not completed but looks great so far.

Yes this is true. I was a BMW tech and it was all about the money. They would have codes come up so you would have to take it to the dealer. Each code was usually $ 600, and there were several. A quick scan and cleared codes and pay $2400 for 4 codes. Not bad for 5 minutes of work. Of course the computer cost a fortune but BMW did not care. Mercedes, Porsche, are the same. Have not heard anything about Volvo, this is why I do not work for them anymore. The moral value is zero with those companies. Watch Scotty Kilmer on you tube and he tells the truth . Kind of a funny guy but is tellling the truth.

The interior door panel is quite good. Maybe even elegant. One head is partially finished. Metal. Fit is excellent. Wanted to detail the head but I have to build out of box. If I was taking a long trip, the Lamborghini would be a better drive than the cobra. This is the ultimate GT car.

Cool!!! You will love it!!!

P. S. Check out the agora site on Facebook. Go to the cobra builds and you will see the red cobra.

Hello Ray. This kit is pretty cool but the cobra ( to me in my humble opinion) is the ultimate. I’m kind of biased for the Shelby American autos. The styling of the Miura is just beautiful. But as a real car, it’s hard to beat a great big block ford. I guess I’m just a blue collar guy.

Thank you Codi, just started on the engine. So far it’s a pretty simple and well engineered kit.
-
The dash is pretty cool. Made of some sort of rubber/ material that has a velvet touch to it. The seat feels the same.

The left door. The factory paint is very good. Perfect tone of yellow. The glass is clean and packaging is good. Making my way thru the Italian instructions. Agora will have everything in English. I was lucky to have the kit before it’s introduction. So far the kit is very nice. I love cars for their styling. In my collage days, I wanted to go to styling school for automotive. The Ferrari P4 is my favorite styling and this Miura is right there also. The Italian cars of the 60’s are very beautiful. My favorite styling studio is pininfarina. Anyway this Lamborghini model is really nice so far.
