Brudda Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Just finished last night installing the pins for the interior cover on the cobra. They are really small. Here is a size comparison with a dime. And they only give you the exact amount. Do not lose one. The pins are the size of the “I” in liberty in the dime. This is 1/24. I do not know how the 1/43 guys even see anything. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudda Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Just about finished. Windshield was a bear. As tough as this mfh kit was, I still loved to build this. You do not see many completed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) Painted wheels and body and added rear windscreen a right pain! A scratchbuilt chassis as the original was used on a Nascar Tradesman's Truck last year! Edited August 17 by PatW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Screeded some Tamiya white putty into the pinholes on the new f'glass decklid for my Sock It To Me M/SP Corvette. Pretty exciting, eh? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Ranchero Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Bought the amt 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona kit; a neat find. It’ll be a while before I build it as I have a ‘61 Galaxie show car waiting in the wings. But it’s an accomplishment just getting it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I finally finalized the direction I wanted to go with this build........ The reason it has been an off-again on-again project is it lacked direction. Just need to mount the engine, then I can glue everything down for good. Forgive the dust, that will be cleaned before the Under Glass post, I promise! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) Ok, I've been at the bench again after some frustrating time off for health issues. Got these done for our local club auction(all proceeds to the club). The rims are machined on my Sherline mill and lathe. They are each made of three pieces of 7075 aluminum. The lugs are machined by RB motion. The tires are parts from the scrap box. The Goodyears were painted on with a stencil that I bought many years ago in Japan. The axles were machined to the type that Tamiya uses. It feels good to be back at the bench. Edited August 24 by Pete J. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) Good to see you back at it, Pete. Don't know if it's just me but I can't see the photo. Sounds awesome though. Edit: I see them now. They look fantastic. That's a very nice set of slots. Edited August 24 by Bainford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - sounds like you know more about it than I do! But yes, I think so ? This’ll be a fairly involved project…not many kitbashable parts to use for a 3 wheeled English fibreglass micro-van from the 70s. I DID print some tiny 10” steel wheels for it today though… 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
