Greetings all;

My youngest son Stephen Nathaniel and I did some work on a snap tit kit and thought you might find it interesting.





This is the Snap Tite/ Quick build of the Testors 1:32 kit #427. here are some of the parts.

Some parts like the wheels and the axles were really tight and needed some "convincing". My Dad's hobby hammer did the trick.

Here it is finished. It took us about an hour to do. And it runs fine!






Dad says that we could make some harness belts like our car's seat belts from masking tape strips. But I told him I'm good (with it as is.)

That's some really nice work Stephen, I've always loved the look of the Cobra. Maybe you need to show Dad a few of your tricks for building cars, he could probably use the hammer to help rigging some of his biplanes.

Good work, I look forward to seeing your next build.

Cheers, Damian

Hello Stephen,
Great job on the car, really looks great. How does it feel building a model and will you and your dad be entering it into a contest. So what's your next build.

Happy Modeling Stephen...

The car really looks good in metallic blue
