Greg Myers Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 says "289" looks like the 427 body. AC did produce a 289 in a 427 body toward the end of their run. Don't get excited, so did Sunny. Sunny 289 Cobra kit
vamach1 Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 Cool box art sold a lot of Palmer kits too back in the day too. ?
keyser Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 Honestly. 10-12 posts down. Lol. No need to search
Classicgas Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 Can't tell you how many times I've used the search here to no avail. Dont know why people have to be so uptight.
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 It's just a competition 289. The 427 body has a bigger rear.
iamsuperdan Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 The search feature on the board sucks. And as moderators, yes, we are well aware that it sucks. The bigger concern to me, is why people aren't fired up that this is a 1:25 scale kit in an obviously euro-box. Outraged!

Well, it might be the right scale, but it’s the wrong shape, and a mish mash of features from different Cobra generations. You pays your money and you takes your choice... best, M.

The problem is those who are aware of, yet refuse to use, the excellent and very effective alternative. When you get results within 30 seconds of searching, there's nothing to publicly complain about, so that speaks volumes about their true intentions: How does a moderator read and reply to a duplicate topic, both discussing the exact same kit, yet doesn't merge the topics? Can someone please explain the logic of requiring members to jump back and forth between multiple topics, and the benefits of disorganization?
Greg Myers Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 You pays your money and you get a good basis to build may different Cobra variations. No one's done a new leaf spring Cobra chassis to replace the one in this kit, a direct copy of the classic AMT original kit. So disregarding all of the silly non researched nonsense on the box top your still getting a bargain for your money. I'm betting most people buying this kit, other than the few here that are aware of what's what in the Cobra world, will buy the the kit, build it, and be pretty happy with the results.

Phildaupho Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) This is how you can fix it and end up with a pretty close FIA version using body parts from the AMT 289. This was based on an Academy issue. Edited December 7, 2020 by Phildaupho

vamach1 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 If anyone has though about buying the HRM kit I would jump on this now. I have no financial interest in this - just an FYI. If you compare the value to a Model Factory Hiro kit it’s a no brainer. The HRM kits are rarely in stock very long.
