427 Cobra super detail 43rd scale

[scotttansley]

While going through some old kits in the cupboard I stumble upon this 20 year old kit. It was one of the most detailed and expensive kits of its time even to this day. Made by "Superior Models" or "Make Up Co" in Japan. Ok so I'm 50 and not sure if I will be able to work at this tiny scale when I'm 60 or 70 so its getting built now while I'm on a roll. I'll definitely be able to paint my Rat Fink type stuff later in life anyway.
So the few projects I've got started (Lupin) are on hold till this gets its best efforts.


Just look at that awesome pewter chassis.

Looks like an awesome kit Scott. I used to build lots of 1/43 back in the 80's & 90's, not so many now. I almost got the chance to build a Superior Ferrari for a guy in Spain, but reluctantly turned it down. Those kits were in the 5-6 hundred dollar range, and I just didn't want to take a chance with someones high dollar kit....just in case..... It will be exciting to see this one take shape!!!

How's this one coming along Scott?

Just finishing construction of the chassis. I'm taking pics along the way so will update in a few weeks.

This is a great kit. I have built a few of these for clients. Have fun with this kit. It is a fun, challenging kit to build.
