Safire6 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I just finished this today and wanted to take some outdoor pics while the sun was low in the sky. I may take some tomorrow when then sun is higher in the sky. I really wanted to put the white stripe decals on it. I tried putting the one on the hood (around the scoop) first, but it ripped as I was smoothing it out. And I had some trouble with the windshield and got a little glue in the top corners.

rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Good looking color on a Cobra. Have not seen that color before. Tonneau cover is great. Maybe it comes in the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinacar Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Nice clean build! I think that the stripes with this particular colour wouldn't have added to the overall look and that it looks great without them. Looks very California and suits the box art 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan Dan Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Love the build. Not crazy about that color (sorry). To each his own for sure. Nice detailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYHARRY Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Nice Cobra there Steve, I'll have to build one of these one day. Unusual colour for this car but I like unusual, well done. Cheers, David. 😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncbuckeye67 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I love that color, and think it looks great on the Cobra! My club chose that kit for our annual Christmas Build-off. Does it offer different stripe color options, or just white? Yours would look amazing with some black stripes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ea0863 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I used that same paint recently on a Trick Trike build, and it came out great. Isn't it awesome how nicely it pops in sunlight? I love it. BTW; I also like the tonneau cover, does it come with the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That color does pop in the sun for sure. That tonneou cover did come with the kit. My brother saw pics of the model with the cover on it and he thought that I made it out of some actual fabric! I must say it does have the right fabric "texture" molded in. Edited February 23 by Safire6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Beautiful looking Cobra. Like the color and finish. Was the partial interior cover in the kit or something you made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbuildr Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I really like your Shelby. Your color choice is is not what one would expect on this car but it's top notch and the way it looks in slightly different lighting really makes this build shine. Excellent idea to show different lighting conditions. It looks smashing in direct sunlight. Two thumbs up Steve. 👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 That turned out pretty nice looking. I like the Fiery orange on the Cobra. Makes it really stand out. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
