With two days off because of the weather I decided to start another model. I didn't take photos as I was building, I got in a zone and completely forgot to take the photos. Here are the photos as it is nearing completion.

Looks like the Revell kit...?
awesome kit..

It is a revell, been in my stash for about a year or so. date on the model itself says 1988.

And that looks very nice.

I got in a zone

A speed zone you mean!
Awesome.

And I'm calling this one done. Not my best work, but I did take an unexpected 3 months off without touching a model.











I am happy with the build and it will look good next to my other classic car builds (I'm planning a base with about 5 or 6 cars on it all from the 50's and 60's.

Great job on this. One of my all time favorite cars.

This Shelby 427 Cobra is an absolute classic! The sleek lines and attention to detail, especially around the wheels and under the hood, are really impressive. What painting techniques did you use to get that amazing metallic finish? Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

I used Tamiya Metallic Blue and an airbrush

That dash looks amazing!
How did you do the blue gauge faces with the numbers? And the Carol Shelby autograph? Are those decals?
