Re: Revell - 427 Shelby Cobra

Thanks for all the compliments....

The tires I used are the ones that came from the kit. I lightly sanded the sidewalls to get rid of the shine, sanded the tread, etc... The blue stripe on the tire was done by flowing thinned flat blue acrylic paint into the groove molded into the tire. The Goodyear decals are out of a fujimi GT40 kit.

The exhuast in the kit were terrible... Mick, you did a much better job on them than I could (and your cobra looks great by the way). I gave up on my exhaust and used a set from a fujimi cobra kit. Painted them flat black and then used some artist pastels to lightly brush on some tan/gray heat effect.
