Quitting the Hobby
cobraman replied to stavanzer's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I wish you well. I have quit no less than 3 times myself. -
Getting in a little deeper in this thing . There was a fairly big gap when I set the trunk lid in place . I have added a strip of sheet plastic ( still needs trimming ) to tighten it up a bit . Also I am going to try and get the engine pictured in the engine bay in place of that lump of plastic the kit came with . Some modifications will be needed but ain’t it always . Seems I will also need to modify the body for the larger rear tires . I may have to make some fender flairs . I did modify the rear end and sucked the tires in as far as I could but it was not far enough . This will not be a replica of the real car .

Really does look nice. Is that a Dalphine in the back ?

Really ? I just got a letter asking if I wanted to subscribe again. -
Thanks Carl buddy !

Thanks guys. Yes there seems there was a version of this kit that was motorized. This on is not. The engine in this kit is a joke ( photos later ). I will either try and adapt another engine into it or I will simply glue the hood closed. The kit wheels were not ever on the real car that I know of. No photos found to support those kit wheels.

Thank you Gary.

The included wheels did not match the box art or actual car so I guess changing is no big deal.

Thanks Randy. It's the color that pulled me in on this one. I have their Mustang Pro Street that is the same color. These are great in between more detailed and time consuming projects.

Revell 1/25 289 Cobra--1st look, (I think)
cobraman replied to Ralph Henderson's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I hear what your saying I have a couple of the Sunny kits as well as many others and i don't want it to build I want it for my unbuilt Cobra collection. I have worse kits than that one. ? -
Vintage kit that appears to be pretty simple and less detailed than you might expect . This is a 1/20 scale kit so I hope it’s ok that is posted here . The kit tires in the kit were unusable as you can see . I purchased some others I plan to use but will need some mods I’m sure . I have seen photos of this car in white and like a candy blue . Not sure I will worry about what color I use .

Finished this up a bit ago . Some minor problems but nothing major . The paint on the body is pretty good . Doors don’t close quite as good as I think they should . I think the headlights are a bit small but I didn’t have anything better . Also no tai light included so I will have to did in my parts to find a pair .
