Nope. 15 inch mags were exactly what I was looking for.

The interior, custom black and blue, with a "wood" steering wheel rim. Once again, a throwback to the Cobras of yore.


Well, here are some "almost done" pictures. Just some decalling to do tomorrow. Sorry that the pictures are dark, but my photoeditor isn't working so I can't lighten them now










I'll decal tomorrow, and then some natural light shots!

You're model looks great! Cant wait to see it finished.... Can you post a picture of the roof from straight above in direct light? It would be super helpful in a project Im working on. thanks!

it`s cool but wheels... i don`t like the wheels

What colour was your primer?

I think some pearl whites are supposed to be used over a gloss white base because they are no where near opaque.

[deltableh]

It was a black primer, just like is needed for a Cobra Colors Fire Pearl. I'll grab some pictures for you soon.

And about the wheels, I went smaller rather than larger because I think the smaller better represent the heritage of the Cobra.

Here are the pictures, ladies and gents; they're from this winter, hence the snow:

good job!

I think this turned out pretty nice. I can understand why some arent happy with the rims. But some of us older kids that can remember when these kinds of rims were at home on a mustang, it sure brings back memories. Great idea mixing in some heritage with what the mustang is now, I like the whole theme about it.

Good job. Wow that colour looks very similar to the 06 Im building, yours is lighter though. I like the rims. Its nice to see some old school wheels and tires instead of always 17-20 inchers. KEep up the good work

[deltableh]

Thank you both for understanding why I put the mags on the car. To me, five spoke mags are the only things that belong on muscle cars

Speaking of, I think the new GT's have a mag-style option :-D

[bhop73]

Overall it looks good to me. I like the color choices.

I can also understand why you put those wheels on there, but I definitely don't agree with the choice. It's a muscle car sure, but it's a modern muscle car and small wheels just look 'odd' on modern cars to most people (myself included). Of course, it's your model and you should make yourself happy before anyone else. And you're right, the current 'Stang does have 5 spoke mag looking wheels, but they are 17 and 18" which fit the modern style nicely.
