The 427 Shelby Cobra certainly is a “Dream Ride†as this Revell Series release implies! These cars were originally built for racing and had one thing in mind; getting the rubber to the road. The original Cobra had no creature comforts: no radio, no AC and in most cases no heater or even heat shielding. It was all about power. An equivalent today would be stripping down a Pontiac Solstice and cramming a 400 horsepower Camaro engine into it.
For the modeler: This is old tooling and the molds are showing there age so You’ll have a little more flash removal than normal but the good news is that this kit has the 289 Cobra style “flat†hood and the chrome spoke wheels. Meaning this is more than likely a reissue of Monogram kit #2798. Which is a welcome change [to me] from the racing style wheels and “scooped†hood of the most recent version. Tool selection; seam preparation; mold line identification; engine color selection; corrected valve cover location; chassis color selection; assembly sequence modifications; interior color selection; use of black washes; instruction errors; decal preparation and application; are all fully examined in this 7 page, full-color Step-by-Step review.
