I'm building a 66 -67 or so Cobra 427 ( the big mean one ) The box art shows a black car but I'm not doing the black car I'm going to be doin it in the color they looks best in ..... Blue. Most of what I find shows the seats black whats gettin me is the dash and interior tub itself. I've seen these be done in black too but the cars I've seen in person are not real Cobras. Should the dash and tub be black also or should they be body color ??

Built this car in 24 hours Thats counting from the second the box opened to the time I posted the first pics online.... just had fun with it Some builds I still aint finished lol but on average its a few weeks to a month

Finished up redoin my 87 Thunderbird tonight As ya can see it's slightly lowered but still very stock looking. But wait ... whats that in the lower bumper ?? I sense some Deception here ..........This Bird Is a Terminator !!! Hehe originally decided to put this engine into a 92, when the 92 was damaged beyond repair I spied this 87 and decided the Thunderbird Terminator Coupe would be born. The engine is a combination of the revell 99 Cobra engine and the supercharger and such from the Mach III Kit The suspension is lowered via cutting rear springs and heavy modifying of the front K member. The rest of the car is as stock as it was the day it was first built.

Hmmmm went an took a peek It appears Bradley is in fact correct. I apologize for callin ya out Bradley

Likin the heck outta this too gotta great look to it overall Whale I'm not sure even i know what ya mean bout the tails. Unless ya see something i don't they look right to me

Great looking bird gonna watch it. I like the Boss Bird name. Doin my own variant of this car an thought the same" needs more power" my variant is called the Terminator Coupe hehehe.

I like it a lot never seen the show tho Rodney about the chevy rallys with cop car caps. .. some one on here actually suggested that to me before i procured the correct rims. They look the part too aside from a few differences

Let me help ya with that Art hehe http://client.sigmachat.com/sc.php?id=12510 Dunno what that is ya posted but it not a link lol

man o man startin to look sinister

Why would Gregg be mad cause those of us who used Chat found another way to continue with chatting ??

I was really hoping revell would issue the new coupe in 1/24 just because the hatches and verts are still pretty common and a 25th coupe is gonna be outta place. As much as yall might hate me for this but i'd rather see it based on the current hatch or vert kits just for that reason

Ok lol wtf is goin on here Phillips headlights look like mine ..... lol

Dave I've seen them with that trim and trim like mine so I went the way mine is done. Your obviously right about the Headlights tho I followed the boxart on that one ... doh Guess I got a bit more fixing to do

Harry all the ones I found pics of or seen in person have lighter grey bumpers nowhere near black. Might be sun bleaching in action tho. You are right about the Shiny they did shine more than they should have but I went ahead and left it alone they aren't as shiny as the pics make them to be As for them being body color I've seen more in grey than ever in body color

Decided to bust out a quick build. Did just a spray and build type build. Not much to a Stock Grand Caravan. Laid down Krylon silver over the molded red body which seems to have killed the red. Put some grey on the bumpers and side trim. It may be a bit light from original but I've seen em in varying shades of grey so I'm leavin it. And to answer the inevitable question of Why did I build it?? Cause I wanted it lol I'm weird like that lol Taking note of the funky look the headlights have and am remedyin that issue as I post lol Fixed the issue with the headlights

John No Lawton sucks when it comes to LHS all we got is a Hobby lobby too. Gotta thank ya for what ya doin if it weren't for ya folks we'd probably lost a lot more out in the Mountains This been a bad year for fires here. We had a massive one west of town rolled from the morth end to the south end of town right along the city limits burned very few occupied homes tho. had some up around Medicine Park not long ago I think that one got a few houses too. Hopefully we're gettin outta this drought and can get some of this rain around us now

Thanks for the compliments guys Gave it to its owner and he was happy Nathan to answer your question the fenders on this kit are molded to the Chassis. On my channeled 32 I took a chance and cut them away from the frame was kinda an experiment once I succeded I went ahead and built it. I dunno that it'd make a good highboy tho once ya get the fenders off the frame aint a thing of beauty and is missing a lot of the feature of a 32 Rail Mines channeled body just hides it all

the 1/12 Mustang should use a standard Ford Cap find ya a pic use ya decal as size reference and go at it cuttin

Not Fair Steve ya found wheels that Matchj ya 1/1 ... I probably gotta scrath up some to match mine on my 01 I need to get after that 99 Cobra I have and get to turning it into my 1/1

Finished up this 32 Ford Roadster today. Built this for a friend. He asked me to build it so I agreed as long as he let me have my way with it. As ya see he was cool with that. Started with the Monogram 32 and tossed all the vintage parts aside and got into a Revell Kit.... This car has the Revells front and rear suspesion the center section of the frame so the modern ladder bars will hook up and the full 302 from the Revell Kit. And a shot of it next to an earlier encounter I had with a Monogram 32

I think I'll slide in too Got an SN and a New Edge to go at

I have one thats similar. Its a quiet little dude too. Never realized it was for an airbrush ..... Hmm Got the start of an airbrush setup and didn't even know it lol

The problem I see aside from the obvious combustion melting the engine down the first turn over and the size of the parts is it running right if at all. I seem to remember an article about a dude making a larger scale Ferrari ... that actually ran ( he had lots of cash ) Seems I remember that it idled fine but after a certain RPM it didn't wanna go right certain things moved too fast for it to do so. That being said we are talking way smaller than he did his in so I don't even see it being able to idle at all. I'd also have to say if it was possible to make a running engine out of the plastic we use .... why are there no actual Running Visable V8s ??

Awesome deuce Looks perfect. I usually don't like a highboy but this one looks right
