My scale Cobra build
Hey all.
You may remember a month or 2 back I was looking for a decent 1:18 scale Cobra model to have built up.
Well Scott has started work on my car.
Firstly here are some pics of some Valiants he has done in the past.
The brief I gave him for the build up was that I wanted a model, painted up like my car, competed in a long gruiling race (LeMans or Sebring type event), the car finished the race but was well out of the podium, so a little unloved, has been dragged home and unloaded and pushed into the back corner of workshop.
Unwashed since competing, fuel stains and road grime, maybe a rub from another car or against the armco barrier.
As a starting point Scott purchased a Kyosho racing version of the 427 Cobra.
He strips it down to bare metal when doing a color change.
