Built from the Revell GmbH, Sam Feinstein 1:24th kit, put out in 2006. I tried to replicate the Cobra in the movie "Gumball Rally" Great movie I remember seeing in the theatre back in 1976, at 14, I fell in love with that car? I cut out and hinged the doors and the trunk, and added the trunk interior bucket. Added engine wiring and plumbing, as well as front inner fenders, double electric fans up front. I scratched a battery and fuel pumps for the trunk, and added toggles and wire bezels to the dash, hand painted the cibie lights and 427 badges..... ...oh and an ashtray had to be installed just ahead of the shifter ...lmbo ..still makes me laugh..every convertible needs an ashtray... Body paint is water based, craftsmart flat metallic Sapphire Blue covered with Alclad Aqua Gloss Clear, everything else is Tamiya, Testors or Duplicolor. Anyways enough talking here's pics Funny thing about this paint is the colour change under different lighting... There were difficulties with this kit like, no mounting pins, channels, locator spotsfor a solid connection. The body, interior tub, and frame just kinda float ,so ya dry fit dry fit dry fit. All in all a fun build Cheers everyone and stay safe
