I was wondering if anyone casts the parts to make a Cobra R from the Revell Mustang Cobra kit? All it really is is a front and rear fascia and the spoiler.

Well, it would be a pretty big build to do it right. Front bumper, hood, rear spoiler, rims, exhaust, recaro seats, then there is the 4 valve 5.4 with its special intake and the t56. It's almost transkit territory. I would build one. I have had a ride in all 3 cobra R s. They are fun cars

That would be a sweet transkit, id build at least one. The 5.4 from the lightning is a 2 valve, sohc engine. Maybe could use the lightning block with the 99 cobra heads, then scratch build the intake manifold. Just an idea.

You are oversimplifiying it a bit as the Cobra is quite different. BUT if you want a place to start, you should buy one of these....

It's not exactly right, but it will get you in the ball park, sort of. It is 1 / 28th or 1/26th scale, so it will have to be stretched to work right.
