A masterpiece again, James!

Great job on one of my all time favorite cars. The paint is perfect. I actually go a short ride in an original one back in 1966.

I agree with Al, great build, love this car in 1:1 and your verison too. The toned down matt mufflers are fantastic

Awesome build James. The weathered exhaust looks great.

That;s a 427 (427 cubic inch Ford engine) Cobra. The identifying marks are the hood scoop and flared fenders for the larger tires, The 289 (289 cubic inch Ford engine) Cobra lacked these

I did a little research. Revell do make two different kits of the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C. I haven't been able to find out wich one can be build as stock. Boxart on both kits are of race cars.

Al: I know it's a 427 S/C. Thanks anyway Sure would be a sweet ride to own, even with a small block.
