Brilliant!
AHA!
Now you see why I say anything in modeling is fair game!
The dash is painted Tamyia Rubber Black. The gauge decals are larger that the gauges. Decal setting solution fixed that problem. I put some Testors’ Clear Cement over the decals to simulate glass. The bezels were painted with a chrome pen. I painted the floor with White glue and applied a layer of Zing Embosing Powder to simulate carpet. The seat belts are after-market products. The seats are black with a small amout of weathering to bringout the molded detail.
There isn’t a lot of detail or interest to the interior.
Thats looking grreat. Fantastic idea for the cable.
Thanks, Lurch.
The model was painted Tamyia Light Blue which is darker thatn the 1:1 car was painted. I never liked the 1:1 car’s blue color. I thought that it looked washed-out and faded. I’ll need to polosh that paint and then add the decals.
Looks like French Blue!
You’re off to a great start Johnny
Man you are SMOKIN through this build Johnny!!! Love all the details too. Those M.A.D distributors are the bee’s knees!! I’ve got half a dozen of 'em in the stash and they work PERFECT. I used to take the time to drill holes in OOB distributors but the heck with that!!!
Looking forward to more on this beauty.
Yep, the M.A.D. distributors are the bomb!. Wiring a kit’s stock distributor is a real drag. It’s taking soooooo long to finish this kit becaue I am so busy doing other things. However, I’m getting there.
It’s time to install the windshield, but it is designed so that two little bumps (red arrows) are supposed to be glued into two little indents on the windshield (yellow arrows). How long before the windshield is knocked off of the body? I think that I will need to drill holes into the posts of the windshield and glue steel pins into the holes. The pins will be glued into holes that will need to be drilled into the body.
I haven’t seen a Cobra in those colors before, Gulf stream. Very cool. It really looks good like that.

I drilled holes in the windshield frame and superglued wires into the holes. The wires will be superglued into the holes that were previously drilled into the fenders of the model
Yup. I pin all stuff like this to include outside rearview mirrors on alot of my builds. Too easy to get knocked off without 'em.
Progress is looking great Johnny.
You should have noted this when looking over the model and test fitting before building!
He did, just two posts above that one…which is why he drilled the holes and added the wires. [whstl]
