Nolan Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Finally finished the Cobra. The windshield was nearly a complete disaster (see the WIP thread https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/196261-revell-shelby-427-cobra-sc-kit-14533/) The windshield frame was damaged straight out of the box and had a lot of flash. I stripped the chrome and smoothed up the frame, then painted it with Revell spray Chrome. The Revell chrome held up fairly well to all the handling involved in getting the windshield glued to the frame. In hindsight, I should have mounted the frame to the body and THEN installed the windshield, instead of vice versa. I used VMS Transpla Fix to glue the windshield to the frame. Pretty easy to work with and didn't immediately turn the chrome paint to aluminum paint! And as the title says "Under Glass" Nolan 16 1
espo Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Beautiful paint color and of course the finish along with the painted stripes. Great looking engine detailing. Like the contrasting interior color and finish.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Always enjoy seeing a Shelby Cobra, especially in the classic Blue with White Stripes!

Ken Car-Fanatic Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Wow. Beautiful build. I've always loved the Cobras in that color combo. Yours looks amazing!
ncbuckeye67 Posted February 3 Posted February 3 That's beautiful! Excellent finish on that blue (and I love the tan interior).
Andrew McD Posted February 4 Posted February 4 A nicely detailed Cobra with spectacular paint. Well done!
