Hey Little Cobra

[Modellpularn]

Well folks, my "quickie" job with the Cobra is mostly finished. I might add some little detail, but here's how it looks now:

Looks awesome. the only detail missing would be flat tires and or buried in the dirt up to the rim.

Thanks for your input guys! I tried to do the flat tires, but perhaps thought of as a last minute detail before a model contest Sept. 29th. I put the chassis on my electric stove, but it warped the chassis, and didn't leave a mark in the tires.... So what to do, still use some heat source like a soldering iron??

With what those are worth these days I'd start restoring It!! as for flat tires a method I used was to take a pie tin and put some foil in it then set the car in it on in the stove with a "medium" heat and let the tires melt to where I wanted them..then turned off the heat and let it,cool trimmed some of the melted tire off leaving enough to simulate the "flattened" tire

Here's a tire flattening technique that worked for me. First do it before you put them on the car or even the wheel. I found a wooden dowel that was a snug fit inside the tire and used it to keep the inside from changing shape. That way you can mount them on the wheels later. Then just hold the tire (using the dowel as handle) onto a hotplate or similar heat source until it's flat enough and mount it on the wheel when it cools. I've only done this once but it worked.
