Absolutely stunning ! What a beautiful collection of one of the most beautiful race cars ever built ! I love them all but have always had a thing for those Gulf colors , definitely my favorites .
Strange But True . . . One of our customers showed up at our shop with a Cobra on his trailer with a VW engine in it , unfortunately whomever built it also butchered the body so bad it barely looked like a Cobra anymore !
Yours looks like a Cobra so I'm okay with it . One thumb-up for the effort !
Thanks !
Thanks ! And yes these old Monogram kits are pretty cool , but they're hard to find nowdays and can be pricey !
Thanks Greg ! I've got a few of the AMT kits on my radar too !
It's been a while since I've posted anything here but the last month or so I've been restoring this old survivor of mine . I actually disassembled it a few years ago but never got any further .Now it's restored and built completely box stock except for the tire lettering decals from Fireball Modelworks and a home made license plate , and I modified the front for poseable steering . The plastic has been polished and cleared , the rest was painted to match the box art .
This is what I started with . I decided not to use the decals . . . definitely 70's but a little too much for my taste .
The finished chassis .
