PROGRESS Project '04 Cobra

[99civichic]

I have never seen the Maisto 1:24 Cobra, and they don't have it listed on their website......If anyone sees one PLEASE PLEASE let me know!!!!!

I should be getting a digital camera this weekend, then I'll actually be able to put up more pics for you guys. So far I've been struggling with 35mm and not much of a macro lens.

The Lightning and Cobra are both on hold until next semester...I'll resume work sometime in the middle of January. I have to finish the 90 Mustang before the 9th of Dec, after that I have finals, then I come home, and I don't have anywhere to work on models here and I don't want to pack everything up. I'll probably spend all of Christmas break working on Will's 1:1 car, trying to get it running. It's unfortunate, I wanted to enter this one (the 04) in the model of the year contest, looks like it won't make it! Oh well. Next year...

I just went to the website too and didnt see it. But they also do not have listed on their website, but I know for sure they are made: 1948 ford f-100, the new beetle (hard top), a Shinoda cobra mustang, and the street tuners, impreza, focus, acura, and one other one. (All I can remember off the top o my head) I will see if I can pickup one of the cobra stangs.

Ok I have a maisto catalog and thumbed through it. There is an Assembly Line Mustang Cobra in 1/24th scale. Except its a '99 So that doesnt help you any. Sorry for my useless info.

The kit I'm using is a 99 Cobra, so the wheels are the same. I still don't know what wheels to use for this one or the Lightning.

I decided this one is going to be a "curbside," so I went ahead and glued the hood down. Here's what I have so far:

The model on the left is a stock-built 99 Cobra, the model on the right is the '03-'04 Cobra I'm building now:


Here's the side scoop:


A comparison:




I still have no clue which wheels to use, I'd like to use either of these if I can find something like them in 1:24/1:25 scale:
or

Anybody know of anything I could use?

i can't seem to find them right now but it seems like the revell civic kit came with similar wheels to those on the left. this is looking to be a killer build. glad to see you still working on this one

Some close matches for the right one would be Aoshima's Altstadt or Materasse. The lugs don't line up with the open areas and spokes don't go all the way to the center, but it's close.
