cobraman

Got another AMT Cobra today that I bought on ebay. Listed as open and complete. It seems complete except for the decals. Don't need them anyway so I'm happy. I have another idea for Cobra build.

Looks good to me.

That is one wild car.

Great looking model.

I used Duplicolor paint and clear. I think I rushed the BMF to be honest.

Interesting, I will be looking in !

Thank you fellows.

Thanks Ken.

Hey Carl ! Duplicolor Chrome Yellow was used .

Thank you Kevin.

That's a knockout !

Box art Cobra . Said I would never ever do a pink Cobra . Sorry to those who asked me not to do that but I forgot I did once do a pink one only because the box art is pink . Please forgive me .

Looks bad, good... oh you know what I mean.

Thank you fellows. As to the side body molding on the hood. Good on one side but drivers side could not be found. I had to wing it with the BMF. Still I love these old kits I built as a youngster so many years ago.

You have my attention.

Much better .

Thanks guys. The wheels are kit wheels. Carl the yellow is Duplicolor but I will have to check name of it and get back to you.

Ya, I don't care for the scoop either but without it it's not a box top build. I will find the ugly thing and add it.

Thanks Dave but I know the scoop is in my garage.................... somewhere. I remember putting primer on it.

Great looking model.

Thanks guys. Such a simple kit that I have built a few times before so it should have been easy. Building for over 50 years. You would think I could avoid these issues. I will admit that I probably rushed it a bit. All the problems were of my own doing. It really is a cool old kit.

Ha ! I see one of the vent windows fell out while I was taking the pics, figures !

Did you fellows ever have one of those builds just did not go well ? No matter how simple a kit may be it just fights you ? Well here is mine . Problems ( my fault ) were as follows . I lost the hood scoop in the garage somewhere ? Paint problems , decal problems , BMF problems pulling of some paint . But it’s done such as it is .

I have Cox for internet and Direct for TV. Both have been pretty good but lately the Direct has been loosing some of my recorded programs but a reboot of the box brings them back.

That thing is wild ! Will be killer when done.
