Going to be a short pause, work coming up... yeah.

It is coming along very nicely.

I’m itching to get on, but a month-long work project begins, so everything  else stops.. But I’ll be bumping this thread again soon enough.

Looking forward to seeing those other Cobra WIPs...

Thanks for looking.

Picked up again, during my one day weekends... not too much progress, but I’m in no rush as you may have guessed.

Another AB misting and wet coat of tamiya x-22 clear 50:50 with their lacquer thinners. Great results with minimal wet sanding to 12000, finished with tamiya polishing compound and Kiwi black parade gloss boot polish.

Chassis, motor and interior test fitting in the background.

Thanks for looking

I am surprised at how the paint went down and stayed dust free, I have no booth and painted/dried in an unprotected area. Light sanding and polishing obviously helps overcome the inevitable specks.

I think the most important aspect of dust-free paint is quick drying and zero human/animal movement in the paint area during paint and curing

Looking real good.  Anxious to see the finished Cobra.

Hello all! Well only THREE years later (!) I got around to finishing some details on this little stunner. So many projects to get on with, but as I was doing some photography I thought I should show this little beast in all its glory.

 Enjoy.
