WingNuts Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) I have admired the work many of you share. Mostly an aircraft modeler I stray into automative when a subject bites. Watching the Barrett Jackson auction when Carrol Shelby's Super Snake sold made me want to build another Cobra. Ahhh, enter E-Bay and the search for a 1/16th Cobra that I had built years age for my brother. Found one in March and the referance search was on. Here is where I stand as of now, Appreciate your feedback and comments. Especially the photography. Having a tough time taking the close-ups. WingNuts Edited June 24, 2008 by WingNuts
Len Woodruff Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Great job!!! Those Paxton Super Chargers are the best I have ever seen! Can you show us how they were built?
John E. Bowers Jr. Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 You, sir, are responsible for my beginning to search for one of these kits and will be hearing from my wife upon my success ! I built one of these when it was a new release. Very nice job you are doing here, keep us posted. J.B.
Darin Bastedo Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Great looking start. I'm a huge cobra fan. One thing you might change is CSX3015 had an automatic transmission... Here is a link to my Cobra reference photos... My Cobra Ref. Pictures Darin Bastedo
WingNuts Posted June 25, 2008 Author Posted June 25, 2008 Appreciate all the kind words. Len, I'll build another one and take a few photos on how I did it. Be about a week though. John, I used the MPC kit as abase for mine. Arrived missing a few parts though. Have the wife call and I'll hand the phone to my wife. They can compare notes. Darin, you and I have been visiting the same web sites. I had all those shots of 3015 as you have. I have already made the automatic shifter. Just need to make the shift selector box and the interior will be done. Darin the Cobra story site has removed many of the photos he had up a couple of months ago. I used many of those pics when I did the manifold carving in wax. I thought the seats were a little funky without any back. I built them up with Milliputt contouring to shape. Regards, WingNuts
Mr.1/16th Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 WOW!!! VERY NICE BUILD BROTHER!! WERE DID YOU GET THOSE TURBOS AT? I WOULD LIKE TO FIND SOME FOR ME MR.1/16TH
WingNuts Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 Hood almost finished! 1st pic is the rough shape Then the Milliput added and primed. Still have some work to do smoothing edges and contours. Pretty happy with it though. Thanks for looking. WingNuts
WingNuts Posted September 10, 2008 Author Posted September 10, 2008 Progress is being made although slow. Completed the interior, exhaust and two color coats. Final color coat goes on today then the BMF will begin. What ya think? WingNuts
cobraman Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Digging up an old one here but was this car ever finished ?
afx Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Its a very nice start. Looks like the builder has never been back to the forum since the original posts.
GT4494 Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I have to ask which sunbeam kit is sitting behind it?
afx Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I have to ask which sunbeam kit is sitting behind it? Its the AMT kit, most likely the Blueprinter version. It is schedule for re-release this year. Edited April 4, 2016 by afx
vamach1 Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) I have a Supersnake 1/18 diecast and a 1/24 FM diecast although I'm not sure how accurate they are but they both have the twin turbos. Edited April 6, 2016 by vamach1 update
