Daytona Cobra finished

[cobraman]

Finished this one this morning. Body is a Kyosho 1/24 slot car body. I used parts from the Revell 1/24 Cobra kit. Model is a curbside so no engine or interior. After prep body was sprayed with Duplicolor Universal Chrome. Looks pretty good when first sprayed but is fragile when dry. Clear coating will just turn it a silver/gray. I know because I tried on another body. Added some numbers which may have been a mistake on my part. Anyway, it's done such as it is and looks pretty good in a display cabinet. All comments welcome.

Stunning! You sure know how to build a Shelby Cobra…

That turned out really well! Is that on the same Revell/Monogram chassis as you had in the workbench thread?

[MrObsessive]

Ray, that's lookin' really good and it sits well! Just looking at the body shape, I'd have to say that look just a bit better than the Gunze one that sells for crazy money. Of course, the few that were done were all different so I'm not sure which chassis number Kyosho modeled when they did this one. 

Sure would be nice if we could ever get a nice detailed glue kit of this one!

Wow! That turned out super nice Ray! Glad you added the numbers. Did you clear coat it? Great shelf model for sure!

Thanks so much everyone. Yes it is the same chassis as in mock up. No it has not been cleared. I did a test where I did clear a Cobra body that I painted with this paint and it just eliminated the chrome look. Made it a kind of silver/gray but shiny. This body does look pretty much spot on to my eye.

Very nice build, Ray.  The Daytona body style is beautiful.

[cobraman]

Thanks guys. I think I may need to get another body and do it in the Gulf colors.

[RestoModGuy]

well done! nice job

yes, that "chrome" paint is sensitive. Wonder why, it's designed for real car painting of accessories and no way would it be durable in my opinion.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Wow. That really IS beautiful. Nice work, sir. She looks convincingly like bare, lightly polished alloy. 

[cobraman]

Thanks Jim and Bill. I sure like the look of this paint but it sure is not durable. I wonder why when you clear it ( I did to a different body ) it looses all it's chrome luster.

[Mike C]

It sure looks great!

[cobraman]

Thanks Michael.

[bbowser]

[cobraman]

Thanks Bruce. Gotta find another body.
