Title: Need help finding a model ASAP
Post by: DVP on May 07, 2009, 09:26:45 PM
I need to find a 05+ Cobra 'vert model. Long story short I told my gf almost 2 years ago that I would get her one for graduation.

Has to be a vert. I dont mind building it (even though me and small parts dont get along)

She is going to be so pissed and it is going to be so funny.

If there is a die cast it would have to be silver. Black stripes are a plus but I can do those.

She get flowers all the time. She literally has a promissory note signed and everything.

Rings are too expensive, I have a car that has some secret plans who needs the $$$.

You can swap engines from any earlier Cobra Stang kit if you need to.

I don't believe any of the manufacturers make a late model mustang covertible, let alone a cobra convertible.  I haven't thoroughly searched for one though, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I do build models as a hobby, and have done 1 or 2 commision builds.  I've also given them as gifts.  Never had anyone dissapointed yet.

Even the scale world has an aftermarket. Forgot about Reliable Resin, they have some good products.  Be sure to prepare it properly, or the paint will never stick and/or never dry.

There was/is no such thing as an 05 up cobra.
If you mean gt500 that's different.
