Shelby Cobra. Small, medium and large

[cobraman]

Working on 3 Cobras . Large one is the MPC 1/16 scale kit which will be built pretty much out of the box . The medium one is a 1/25 AMT kit which is being made into a long nose Cobra drag car . Some parts to complete on order . The short one is made up of the two parts left from making the long version . Was just playing around with it with no intention of doing anything with it but now I think I will . What I don’t know . The two AMT bodies were made from some glue bomb and parts I bought on eBay .

Ray, off to a good start…

I’m curious to see what you do with the long nose? 

[FLHCAHZ]

Cool!  The 1/16 MPC kit still available?

It needs a V-12.?

Nice combination. I have the 1/16 in the stash, so will be following along.

How about putting the short one on a Meyers Manx frame and making a dune buggy/kit car out of it?

Thanks fellows. Snake, that is an interesting idea. Chaz, you can find the MPC Cobra on ebay. Also the AMT boxed one which is the same kit. Airfix version is also the same but harder to find and will cost you more most likely.

All three will be nice when completed.  That long nose Cobra drag car will be kewl.  Never tried a 1:16 scale.  I alway see the 1:16 1959 Chevy El Camino at HL every time I go there.

I think you are getting them confused. The 59 El Camino is 1/25 scale, but the box is larger. The 1/16 are the 57 T-Bird, 55 Chevy convertable and Nomad, 57 Chevy and the 1980 Firebird (current kits). I have never seen a 1/16 El Camino, I would buy it if I did. I have the 1/25 El Camino below.

I stand corrected.  I just assumed it was a bigger scale mode because of the size of the box.  Why is the box so big for a 1:25 scale?
