Some critics look down their noses on this line of Cobra kits . I will have to agree that they are not the best and are not without problems . I honestly don’t believe they are as bad as some would have you believe . Look at these pics . Does it look like a Cobra . My workmanship may not be the best but for me , it looks ok . I tried to copy the best I could on the photos I posted .  I made the two front splitters with sheet plastic as well as the rear diffuser under the rear of the body . I cut down the windshield and frame . The body is painted with Tamiya Pearl White and Tamiya red and green stripes . Body was then cleared . Tire decals from Gofer were used . Do not match photo of real car but I could not find any . I made ( for the first time ) a hinge for the trunk because none is included in the kit . It is clumsy and oversize but the next one will be better . Hope you like it and are not yet sick of seeing Cobras !

Ray...I will never get tired of seeing Cobra's...especially yours.  And I totally agree with you on the Fujimi kit. I have built two of them and was pleased with the result.

Looks pretty darn good to me.  It is a shame the striping paint blead a bit. but short of that, it looks real nice.  I have built a number of the Fujimi kits as well as a number of the Revell kits.  My only hang-up with the Fujimi kit is the wheel height.  I lowered the ride height on my builds and it looks better to me.  Well done.
