cobraman Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 This Cobra was a started kit that was not in the best of shape. Took it apart and cleaned it up as best I could. When the dust cleared this is what I came up with. Not perfect by any means but good enough for one of the Cobra cabinets. Comments always welcome pro or con.
Snake45 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 That's nothing to be ashamed of at all--you did a fabulous job with that. Well done and model on!
jrherald420 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Might have too much shine to be a Cobra! lol Looks to be a good save in my eyes.
Snake45 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Cobraman, have you ever tried to model a bare aluminum, unpainted Cobra? I'd like to try that sometime. I have some ideas on how it could be done.
TooOld Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Looks good Ray ! I've always wondered what the Minicraft / Academy Cobra body looked like . . . not too bad . But why can't somebody do a decent windshield frame for a Cobra ! Even tho' it has a small block in it the body is still a 427 S/C .

I have some ideas on how it could be done. I have thought about that many times but never attempted it. Maybe an alcad paint. Wonder if BMF could be made to work. I do have a Franklin Mint Cobra that has the body actually made out of aluminum. Pretty nice. Thank you guys.
bobthehobbyguy Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 What color silver did you use? Nice job.

Kennyboy Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Looks great to me Ray! It looks like you could get in it and drive it like it was meant to be driven!
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Nice save, Ray. Love to see old bombs resurrected into good looking models.
