cobraman Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Never before seen Cobra kit by me anyway. Found it on ebay a few weeks ago. Although it shows a Super Snake on the box the kit is just the same Academy kit available here. I figured it would be but it is still nice to have and I am glad I bought it. The only real difference in in the way it was packaged.
1930fordpickup Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Thanks for posting the pictures Ray. The box srt is very cool.
wayne swayze Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Nice to have another Cobra no matter what language the instructions are in. Certainly a conversation piece!
afx Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Too bad it didn't include the Super Snake parts Ray.
cobraman Posted December 29, 2015 Author Posted December 29, 2015 Ya, I didn't really think it would but it sure would have been nice. This box is huge. The seller packed it very well and no damage was noted.
my80malibu Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Looks nice But I wouldn't stand in line for it lol.
skymnky721 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Thats wild,,never seen one from academy,,looks very nice,,ANY cobra is nice to build actually,,but that looks special
The70judgeman Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Is the kit right-hand drive as it shows on the box art? Never seen a RH drive Cobra...except as a kit car.
louie Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 That's way cool. I'm always interested in the different ways that kits are marketed. You did good. I'd consider it a rather rare kit. Thanks Cobraman for sharing this one. Jeff
Atmobil Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Interesting find. I wonder how many other kits they have made with russian boxes?
SfanGoch Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Odd that the Russian Academy kit is marked as 1/24 since the Sunny and Academy/Minicraft versions are both 1/25.
cobraman Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Yes. the kit is exactly like any other Cobra by them. No Super Snake hood, not a right hand drive and not 1/24 as box states but rather the 1/25 scale. Still I am happy to have this one in my collection.
SfanGoch Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Russian-Shmussian. Still a nice kit pick up.
