Revell Cobra 427 S/C
Finally gave into the temptation to build this one. This is a really nicely molded kit and so far has gone together nicely.
Engine so far. If I can find some small wiring, I might take a crack at engine wiring. Looks pretty boring so far. That's why the hood stays closed. Engine mocked up in the chassis: My first attempt at flocking an interior. Turned out OK. Hard to photograph this, though. I'll play around and get better pictures by the time it's done. Body is duplicolor blue metallic. No clear yet (will be duplicolor as well). I like the hood scoop blue. Any thoughts? I painted the knockoffs body color, but I'm not 100% sure. I'd really appreciate any thoughts and comments (good or bad) on the hood scoop and knock offs. Thanks! --Jeff |

Re: Revell Cobra 427 S/C
Hood scoop looks good, but I'd redo the knock-offs in silver (alloy). However imho the wheel centres would look great in body colour (don't clear it & keep the rim silver though)

Re: Revell Cobra 427 S/C
Hello JM Nice work! Love the color. I would keep the hood scoop blue. I like Amazons Idea of the wheel center changed to body color, the outside rim silver as is and change the knock offs to silver alloy to match. Also do find some wires and other plumbing items for the engine. It's just cries out for attention. Keep up the good work!

Re: Revell Cobra 427 S/C
Nice work. I kind of like the knock-offs in blue. Take a shot and change, when the model is finished, if canīt stand them by that time. Right now the give thewhole thing a little more edge.

Re: Revell Cobra 427 S/C
Good job, I like the hood scoop in blue, but the wheel knockoffs I would leave them silver.
And you should go for some wiring in the engine, it is worth the time, and the best thing is that these engines were so simple, that they are now very easy to detail without much effort. Keep us posted

Re: Revell Cobra 427 S/C
Great job you're doing. This duplicolor base seems very smooth.
I'm pro stripes on the scoop and alu knock-off, but I understand your feeling to do something special.

Re: Revell Cobra 427 S/C
Super job you are doing on this!
I like the blue knockoffs though and I want to know how you did the stripe on the tire! I prefer the stripes on the scoop - the blue mass in the middle of the hood "slows" the car down for me personally I have a bigger issue with the flocking on the interior - you did it very well but for me this car wouldn't have a soft interior - It'd be all bare metal and leather Of course, all of the above is piurely sublective

Re: Revell Cobra 427 S/C
Thanks everyone for the feedback. I think I'm going to keep it as is and see how it looks when it's all done. I can always make changes, and this surely won't be the last one I build. It's such a fun kit!

Here are some wired engine pics. I know its all wrong, but it's my first attempt. The wire is 26ga solid wire. I think next time, I'll strip the insulation and paint the bare wire. Drilling out the distributor was a BEYATCH. How do you guys do it? |

Re: Revell Cobra 427 S/C
looks good. I'm on the fence with the knock offs. I've always liked a gunmetal or similar hue wheel center with silver "hoop" or wheel. The flat paint looks kind good IMO. But you NEVER see a cobra with a dull paint job
