Shelby Daytona?

[RattleCan]

After a quick search I saw that this has been brought up before, but I was wondering if anyone has heard anything new about a 64/65 shelby daytona coupe kit being worked on. I've been wanting to build one since I started modelling, but I can't justify spending nearly 200 on the HRM kit right now.

I think he means Cobra daytona coupe

I think he means Cobra daytona coupe

Then he should be more specific.

Then he should be more specific.

Edited original post for clarification, I always forget about the other Daytona.

You mean there's a difference?

[cobraman]

You can usually find the Gunze kit on ebay for a bit over 100 bucks.

There is also the Scale motorsport "Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe" #CSX2299 resin kit...

probably set you back $150.00 if you can find it...

Great picture, Curt. Are you smiling at your very first build?

Find your self an old Lindberg kit and an AMT roadster and get bashing.

Academy had announced a Daytona Coupe late last year for this years release but I haven't seen hyde nor hair of the beast. I heard it was no longer on their site either. Can anyone confirm?

[RattleCan]

Thanks for all the input, looks like I'll just have to wait until I'm skilled enough to take on an expensive kit.

He was: "64/65 Shelby Daytona--only one style of those in the 60's.

They aren't going to make it as far as I know. I see Revell is producing the Corvettes Academy tooled.

That's gonna be kinda hard since Lindberg's kit is 1/32nd scale.

[cobraman]

Not only is it 1/32 but you would have to do a lot of work to get it to look very good. Different wheels and tires would help.

[Jon Cole]

Well then, I would say it is time for us model building cave dwellers to start banging our tin cans and make some noise for the Cobra Daytona Coupe! I mean, after all, such a powerful and influencial race car should be a "no-brainer" in the current climate of our hobby, no? Yes! Academy is, for all purposes, DOA. At least as far as this kit is concerned.

Alot of naysayers here. Come on you never kit bashed? You don't have a stash of wheels and tyres? Now look at the red kit , yeah, right next to the little 1/32nd kit.
