Thank you Mario.

Very nice Mario.

Great looking model of a great looking car.

You can fix that ! I think there was also a Pinto along those lines ?

Cool pics , thanks. The gasser was pretty nice.

This will be my next project when I get back from my vacation in San Diego . This will most likely my last build . Been building a long time and I think I am at that point of stopping . Just no motivation anymore except for this one . I wanted this kit when I first heard about it . At that time it was only offered as a subscription which I didn’t like because I wondered what if something happens and the parts don’t continue to come ??? So when I heard several months ago you could purchase the complete kit at one time it was time to take the plunge . I admit to stalling on starting this but now it the time ! Will be the highlight of my Cobra collection .

I still do !?

The reason I was pleased happened at an event I wish had not happened . My BIL had his funeral service today . Because he was a Marine in Vietnam he had a Marine honor guard and another Marine play Taps . I’m not ashamed to say it really moved me and brought more than a tear to my eye . These Marines did a wonderful job and I had never experienced that before .

Great job ! Those paint jobs are very nice !

Oh man that ship looks like a tough one . Would would look great when done .

Thank you very much fellows . This is a nice kit and the problems I had good have been my own . There is soooo many tiny pieces which were a bit tough for me to deal with . Bruce , guess what my next kit will be ? You know . It’s because of you I bought it . Been calling to me for several months .

Just finished . Had some issues but got it done . Not the best example of the finished kit . I did make some errors . I chose to do it with wheels up . Less work true but I think the plane looks best when flying . All Tamiya paints and I tried to follow the color call outs the best I could . I did omit some of the tiny decals of which there were many . Now where to put it ! This will be my last airplane . Thanks for looking .

I know there is a thread on here some where but I could not find it . Snapped this pic off the Tv . Fireman building a fire truck !

Looking good ! I hope you build goes smother than my P51 is going !

Ya, there are about a dozen or so magnets. I installed them but opted to not have removable panels. I am also doing the model with wheels up so it makes it a bit more easy. Had 2 main problems . first the two body halves did not want to fit together and second, the wings did not want to mate to the body. I actually had to grind the bottom of the cockpit to get it to fit. Perhaps I had put something together wrong ? Would not be the first time. ?

Yes sir ! In my 60 years of building models I have built cars, trucks, airplanes, boats, ships, subs, tanks ect. I just always enjoy building. That is coming to and end soon. I have given up the hobby a few times in my years for one reason or another but this time is different. I have one large project for when this one is done and I think that will be it for me.

One of my favorite tunes.

They look great ! I always liked those little cars.

Turned out very nice .

He sure did !

Nice model with great paint.

Very nice and clean looking model.

Great looking Mustang !

I hope those masks work. I never used them but the Mustang kit does include them so hopefully i won't make a mess of it. This will be the last airplane I will probably build.

Thank you Joe. I wish I could say this kit feel together but I had some issues. I perhaps was the problem and not the kit.
