Shelby Cobra 427 completed pictures

This is the Revell 427 I bought last fall, it's not a bad kit although it doesn't have brake details and the wheels won't steer. But it's dirt cheap and with some care it turned out ok if i say so myself.

This is a generic racer, not meant to replicate anything real.

The first 3 pictures were takien in natural daylight, I had to stop because the metal flakes saturates too much on the pictures and it bothered me.

Comments and critiques are welcome

look very good !

I'm working on this kit too. sadly I missed the paint job (first time in a while) so it will be on hold.

Re: Shelby Cobra 427 completed pictures

Man, that looks awesome, try taking the pictures in the shade so the flakes don't saturate as badly. I particularly like the tonneau cover.
