Some more pictures of my Cobra, the radiotor and the almost finished engine.

Some pictures of the Cobra, i am not satifait with the white striping (3 shades of white) it is very pity but fixable (spray the striping again) Included the right way to connect the oil lines, in the build description you must connect one line to the fuel filter on the engine ?????? I made also some connectors for the oil lines in brass, looks more realistic than the ones included in the kit. Still a long way to go, to make it look like a Cobra, but the starting base is allright. If you like it give me comment, if you don't like it also, questions please ask.

I send this week two emails to the customers service Sam.

Dear Sam, where is the tracking you promised on Monday or Tuesday, it is now Wednesday and no tracking number to be found, but pack 12 will be debited from my account within 3 days!!!!

We will see !!

Agora promised me that pack 11 would be sent this week, today Friday but no tracking yet. But maybe weeks in England are longer than 7 days.

It's almost the end of the month August, and receive the tracking for pack 10 !!!!! Shipped from ...... Yes the U.K. !!!!!!!

I would like to join this commentary on the listed errors. The biggest mistake for me is that the engine is totally wrong. There is not a single V8 engine where the crankshafts are in the same line, they are always staggered in relation to each other, this in connection with the crankshaft. I solved this by shifting the two halves of the engine block relative to each other, and keeping the crankcase as a size and making the timing chain housing (which is way too thick) narrower. The space that arises can be filled with plastic sheet. Then the view is better anyway. Also the shape of the bell housing of the transmission is also totally wrong. But maybe I'm too much of a purist and Cobra enthusiast, and still want to build a more or less correct model. Of course there are many details that disappear from view when the model is mounted. But for your own peace of mind, this work is justified, that's why i make also new seats for the model. For sure it is not a authentic replica of the real stuff. But if you are a bit of modelbuilder it is a good base to start build a Cobra with some work. But that is my opinion !!!!!

Normally no shoulder harness is used in a 1965 car, either none or only the lap belt. I don't know where the manufacturer of the model got his information, at least not from a 1965 427cu. Perhaps from one of the numerous Cobra clones on the market or from a new one, available back through Shelby. The straps aren't pretty either, the buckles are too wide and certainly don't approach a real shoulder harness.

My Home made new seats in resin for my Cobra are almost ready to place in the interior.

Pack 9 gives us the solution to solve this problem, just a little patience !!!!!!

I very much hope that in pack 9 the pieces will be delivered to solve the problem of the front suspension.

Because i was not so happy with the seats, i sculpt one from milliput. A little more sanding and the seat is ready to be cast in resin.

I notice two things, after the goods have been cleared through customs, the tracking from Bpost says "information about the shipment received from the sender", the sender is Agora, and that the procedure at customs went super fast !!! !

I send a mail to Costumers service of Agora, and they ask me to send some paperwork, i send them the tracking information of Bpost, so they can see what we must pay.

Got my tracking for pack 7, up to pack 8 now !!!!!! Keeping the faith !!!!!

https://knupfer.info/shop/ One of the best and also one of the cheapest, with a great service, in Germany https://www.modelmotorcars.com/ In the U.S.

Happy to share it.

I use threaded rod from 2 mm and nuts of also 2 mm.

I think that i am make new seats, i don't like the stitching of the Agora seats. Like i do for my Alpine A110.

Thank you, and i am sure, yours looks also good ass well, maybe better. Enjoy your build !!!! It's a very simple model, with much space for some detail work. Be sure you have enough documentation and pictures when you start to build.

Some pictures of my almost rolling chassis. If you like it, tell me, if you don't like it tell it me also !!!!!

Looks nice, but to be honestly i'am not a fan of the seats. But that's personal taste. The big question is when Agora sending out the packs ??????

Sorry Agora i was a little to inpatient, i receive the tracking for pack 6 today !!!!

Hi Rudy, Cobra #6 ships tomorrow. Thank you This answer on 16/03, but yesterday no sign of tracking number. Why they make promises they can't keep. To make the costumer satisfy and stop the nagging maybe, and they also know for sure that nobody stops the subscription !!!!!
