Marsh 289 Cobra 1/43

I just finished this up yesterday morning.  This is a Marsh Models 289 Cobra 1/43 scale.  Very nice kit but did use some parts from the Monogram 1/43 Cobra kit like the windshield.  The wheels are beautiful and overall just a great resin kit.  I used Tamiya British green for paint.  I love building 1/43rds from time to time but at 68 not sure how much longer I can deal with tiny parts like hood hinges on this kit.  Thanks for looking and comments .

Great looking Cobra in such a small scale.  Well done.

Fantastic sir! Last year I bought the monogram 1/43 corvette ant a swap meet for $2 and built her. It was great fun to build. I did build the monogram cobra and that was a fun build. A few weeks ago at the Fremont contest , I bought 3 f1 kits in 1/43. I did not realize that these little gems cost . Bought them at a great price, and they are detailed. I hope my eyesight holds on so I can build these. Your build is fantastic. Love the color!

Good luck with the builds and I do remember your Monogram 1/43 build of both cars.  The F1 cars are a bit challenging but they are beautiful finished.  Thank you

Beautiful build - I didn't switch to a larger scale until I was 70 - hang in  there.

First off, absolutely beautiful work and results! Second, hats off to you; I'd never be able to build one of those 1/43 kits... When I was a teen, I had shaky hands, but pretty much microscopes for eyes, being literally able to clearly read a book with the tip of my nose touching the page. Now I'm 44, my hands are now steady, but my eyes now suck at seeing far or really close hahaha!!!🤣😅🥲
