Matt Bacon Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Well, she's finally done! And finally a couple shot with a different lens that should be a better approximation of what a human eye sees looking at one of these: A really nice base kit, much enhanced by the Fine Molds white metal parts (plus you end up with a spare 427 engine!) bestest, M.

cobraman Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Very nicely done. Always love to see a well built Cobra model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Outstanding! With the right backround it would be hard to distinguish from a 1:1. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Thanks, guys. And yes, grrrr... I have missed the front indicators. Fortunately, I have now located them on an offcut end of formerly chrome sprue that has been stripped, and repainted them chrome silver. Tomorrow I'll do the orange and then I can add them and this thing will REALLY be finished!bestest,M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Bacon Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Thank you very much, gentlemen!As for Betty-Lou, she's putty in my hands... When we first met, she was in pieces, and it was only thanks to my help she pulled herself together. She's been at my beck and call ever since.;-Pbestest,M.

1930fordpickup Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 As everyone has said, it is a good looking model. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Very nicely done. Always love to see a well built Cobra model. AGREED!! Q:what color are the wheels?, and how did you do the weather stripping around the engine bay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastheniker Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Neat as always and IMO the best-looking colour combination on a Cobra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Looks good. And I'm with Jurgen above, the color you chose is the right one for a 427 Cobra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTJUNIOR Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Awesome Cobra. Looks very real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks very much, guys...@Dann Tier the wheels are the white metal parts as cast, with a light overspray of Tamiya Smoke to pop the detail and stop them oxidising to white. The "weather strip" is just a pointed black marker pen run around the angle of the flange...Betty-Lou's sister Samantha has apparently just boarded her plane for a visit...;-Pbestest,M.
