Jeeze, I’m having flashbacks of building my 1:1 scale ‘66 Mustang.  My body panels are all custom fitted with exact gaps. Nothing like the crap Ford put out back in the day.  

It´s nearly the same with this one, except, I can handle it with one hand, luckily. For a kit it is no lightweight though. I´m not sure, if exact gaps where to be found on the real one, as they were build up in great haste.

Cheers Rob

Good lighting, eyesight and steady hands is the order of the day and plenty of patience. Hats of to you Rob, when I rebuilt my Truimph GT6 Mk III (1:1) it had an E Type bonnet, at that scale it was a pain to align so at 1:12 wow…….

Thanks Phil, with the Cobra, it´s the phase of the build, where everything has to come together and where all the tolerances and little errors show. I will find a way to get it done. Your Triumph must have been a nice one, but exact gaps were never one of the greatest virtues with British cars.

Cheers Rob
