AMT Shelby Cobra Rebuilt from glue bomb

[cobraman]

Just finished this one up . The yellow pic is what I started with . Lots of pieces either broke or missing . Replaced several parts from my parts box. Painted Tamiya Metallic Green and cleared with Duplicolor 1K clear. Not perfect but good enough to have a place in one of my cabinets . Now on to the second on I bought .

One with the hood in place .

That's a hell of a transformation!

beautiful save. I like it when a model can have a second lease on life. A good side effect to recycling.

What a difference, Ray.  Looks terrific.

Beautiful paint and the stance is great.

Very nice! Don't you love bringing one back to life? Well done and model on! 

[cobraman]

Thank you all very much ! Yes Snake, I must admit I found this more satisfying than building a new one.

[Zippi]

WOW.....what a makeover.  Very nicely done man.

Ive never been a big Cobra fan (always liked the gt40 more) but a DRAG COBRA is killer. NICE SAVE

Thank you Bob and Chris.

Hard to believe this is the same model. Beautiful looking paint finish and color. I like the Drag Racing theme. 

[cobraman]

Thank you very much to all of you !

Really nice Ray.

[slusher]

Ray, May I ask which AMT kit this is. I was thinking king Cobra?

[cobraman]

Thank you Carl.  It seems like it had to be the King Cobra version. I suspect by the pieces the original builder used that it was the original version from years ago and not the newest one.
