cobraman Posted December 29, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne swayze Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Nice to have another Cobra no matter what language the instructions are in. Certainly a conversation piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Too bad it didn't include the Super Snake parts Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The70judgeman Posted December 30, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigphoto Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I believe this is the old Sunny kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louie Posted December 30, 2015 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Interesting find. I wonder how many other kits they have made with russian boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted December 31, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share 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 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Russian-Shmussian. Still a nice kit pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
