Hi All

This is one I spent some time on due to the paint not being the right shade. Well anyhow, a basic run down of the model.

It's the old Tamiya 95 Cobra R kit, the gearbox was correct to the manual from the auto box. Extra detail added to the engine include a pre-wired distributor, various hoses and wired, scratch-built boxes, etc. The bonnet had the underframe scratch-built to match the 1:1 version, along with the bonnet stay and catches. The paint mixed at the local paint factor to the correct Ford colour.

There is another one of these in my stock pile which will be built as a racing version sometime.

Nice! I like that you painted it white. You don't see too many models being painted in white today.

Sweet!

I think this is the first time I've seen one of those Tamiya Cobras built up. It looks like they did a nice job with it.
