Looks fantastic ! I hope mine turns out half as good.

Very, very nice !

Don't know what to say that has not been said many times but it is a pleasure to see this all come together.

Here is a not so good photo of the one I had .

I just ordered and paid for one. I bought a new Courier in 1978. Yellow long bed with lift kit and larger tires and custom paint. What an under powered pick up. At the time I bought it I did not realize it was a Mazda.

Thanks Bruce. Still like Cobra's more but I have a new found fondness for these Corvettes.

I wonder if Micro Krystal Klear would work for you . I use it and like it.

This Cobra was donated to me by member ewetwo along with another I built into the Cobra hot Rod . Workbench area shows what I started with . Wasn’t too bad but needed a rebuild . The black paint that the builder used would not strip or sand . I got it as smooth as I could and primed and repainted it Testors Bronze and Wet Look Clear . Decals from my parts box . Made a few small changes . Not perfect but looks better to me .

Not too long ago i bought the Otaki kit. Been wanting to start it but I work on a roll top deck and the kit is a tight fit. May have to work on the dining room table and really dont want to do that. Same problem with the 1/12 gT 40.

Looks great Tom. Love the paint.

I never saw that kit look better. Nice clean work. I really like it.

I like it. What paint did you use on the interior ?

Colors look good.

Your attention to detail is unbelievable . Keeps getting better and better.

Yes they did. I think it was called Revolution or something like that. ??

Thank you Carl.

No white tile to be found in the new one in Scottsdale,

I find the frozen ones tricky to get just right. Glad to have one close to me now. I will probably only go 3 or 4 times a year. When I lived in Chicago many, many years ago they were the only place open when the bars closed or sometimes when the last movie played at the drive in.

Thanks David ! I am working on that other Cobra you donated to me. That black paint was so stuck on i was starting to think it was molded in black ! Never did get it all off !

Thank you Dennis.

Thank you Francis. My next Cobra will be normal.

Holy cow ! That is huge !

Thanks Bob. The decals are from the Street Burner Shelby Cobra by Revell.

Well the good news is you have a lot of pieces for your parts box.

This is another Cobra I had donated to me by fellow member ewetwo . Thanks . This one was not really too bad and just needed a little redo . I mainly wanted to repaint and do some minor repairs . First step after taking it apart was to strip the body . I don’t know what the heck the builder used for paint but it would not strip and even sanding was not going to work . Got it as smooth as I could I primed it and painted it with Bronze paint . Now I am adding decals and to be honest I will use some of them to hide some imperfections .
