Paul B Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) Going with the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C (Ford 7.0L V8 - 425bhp race tune). Decals and paint scheme will be for the 1973 SCCA championship winner raced by Sam Feinstein!? The detailing on the kit looks good as stadard. I've ordered a wired dizy kit for a touch of detail in the engine bay, and i'll probably add in things like brake lines etc. as I go The kit has the detailing for this filtter/airbox/card set-up The engine detailing on the kit looks to be based on the latter SOHC version of the side-oiled FE block, as the cam-covers feature the chromed pots seen below.

Neil Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Will be having a bash at a 1/12 Suzuki RGV XR89 Finally got round to ordering some photo-etch sets, carbon decal, exhaust springs, 'leccy connectors, flexible tubing and other fiddly bits etc today, from Hiroboy & Mediamix. Looking forward to starting the RGV once the GB date is upon us in the New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) Paul I built one of those Revell Cobra kits (well 2 actually) and they are very nice if a little small. I brought one then decided I had to have another to build as the other markings supplied in the kit. I built them straight out the box and added the full windscreens instead of the aeroscreens as I prefer the look although not authentic. The original car had front splitters added either side of the oil cooler inlet. These are not on the kit. The decals are also a pain to get over the rear wheel arches. Maybe best to try painting them instead. I think the kit has the flared rear arches of the later S/C cars but the photos don't indicate this to be authentic. I believe the sidepipes in the kit are also street versions that are too long. The car appears to have changed a few times over the years. Look forward to seeing the end result. Craig.

Craig Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) Sorry about that. I now realise you can't view photos on the Cobra club unless you are a member. Hopefully now sorted Forgot to say the rocker covers in the kit are the cast aluminium version like these.... The SOHC engine is a lovely bit of kit but never fitted in a Cobra. Those engines are so wide you would have to remove the footwells to squeeze it in! Craig. Edited December 14, 2007 by Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to starting the RGV once the GB date is upon us in the New Year. My order from Hiroboy arrived today which included the carbon fibre decal, flexy plastic tubing, telemetry sensors, exhaust springs etc. Just waiting for my Mediamix order to arrive which contains a load of photo etch stuff etc, then I am ready to go. Love the dinky little exhaust springs (only need 8 of them, but they come in packs of 20), about 1mm in diameter. Cute little buggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul B Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Thanks for the pictures Craig and the info. Do you know if the cast aluminium rocker covers would be correct for the No. 2 car, or would I be better doing a little mod and smoothing the covers over?

baldrick Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Haven't quite decided yet what to build, am thinking of a 3 car build from a classic US based Drag racing team. Will have a good look at the kits first to see how hard they are going to be to build. Otherwise Might make a NASCAR that's in the stash. Here's 1 of the 3 cars Hi Ponti, where did you find a kit of Sox Martin???? Me want one...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
