I started this.

A friend has a kit car of it and had a blue diecast, ask if I could take it apart and paint it. I tried but it wasn't the best diecast so i told him I would buy the AMT one and built it for him.

Been awhile since I have built a car and I always liked to wire the distributor, so i did on the one too :). ]pic5]

It was a lousy kit but having said that I am the poster child for Tamiya kits 🙂

The weather was warm enough n to step outside and use rattle cans today. I spent a couple hours last night flinging off the mold lines on the fenders…UGH 🙁 then wet sanded it with 2500 grit paper this morning and primed it….it looked good so I painted the red, then the hood, trunk, etc etc. then I thought what the heck things were going good so I taped it off and did the racing stripes

Did the trunk and one thing led to another and I ended up obsessing over it and finished it. Don’t have completed pics will shoot them tomorrow. I think he wil like it :). First time I ever built a model for someone….good thing too cuz I got no room for it ;0

Enjoy….supposed to be in the 50’s tomorrow then plunge into the 20’s for Monday with wind tomorrow and possible snow the weekend. Ahhh life in the midsouth 🙂

Wow! Done already and looking amazing, my friend @bikequeen!

Looking great, Cricket @bikequeen, Carroll himself would be impressed, especially as you finished it so quickly, lucky you had a break in the weather.

@jdtruby @johnb @chinesegeorge @tcinla thanks everyone, it was a junk kit but like i said I’m spoiled on Tamiya 🙂

Tom @tcinla thats sounds like a fun ride but I wouldn’t have been able to restrain myself 🙂

Completed pics coming

Well done, my friend @bikequeen! Super result!

@bikequeen - Nice work Cricket! Very clean finish. Great engine detailing as well.

This one came out really nice, Cricket (@bikequeen). Especially cool because it went to a friend. I didn't know there was a 1/16 scale Cobra out there. I just got a large-scale kit of the first car I every bought (used, for $250), a 1955 Chevy Bel Air two-door. I my heart, I always wanted a Cobra, but my mind kept telling me it was never going to happen. Darn it, my mind was right.

Great result Cricket (@bikequeen). A happy new owner is also good news.
