Turbo Cobra "Art Car"

[Jurva]

This is a 1979 release of Revell Turbo Cobra. I decided to build it as a track oriented road car. Paint scheme would be similar to BMW art cars. On top of Tamiya white, I used nail art decals. Each decal was placed individually. I had problems with the decal carrier film showing under the clear coat. Other notable modifications are:
-Modified rear spoiler
-Side skirts and muffler with aluminium tips added
-Washi tape interior fabric
-3D printed gear shifter, breather tank and blow-off valve
-Handbrake and pedals added
-Scratchbuild intake manifold and intake piping.
-Resin intercooler, turbo, wastegate, battery, brake booster, side mirrors and steering wheel.
-Wheels and tyres changed

Man that is awesome I have 2 of these turbo cobra cars I might have to borrow your idea. Your craftsmanship and execution is amazing that is a very nice build.

Decal design and execution looks amazing! What kind of nail art pack did you use?

Great paint and build!

[Maindrian Pace]

Super cool, great concept resulting in a very different Fox that takes a so-so kit and elevates it into an art piece. The photography is top level as well.

I love this! Cool detailing, and the effect created by all that careful decal work is extremely striking. The car looks intimidating...but also just plain fun!
