    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 understand your answer
    but the reality of a real Cobra requires the existence: of a starter motor, fuel supply hose for the carburettors, engine mounts as original, a steering rack that does not swing without support!
    I have already asked these questions to you: there is a contradiction between reality and the copy made: how could the Shelby association you are talking about let these errors pass !!!
    why don't you illustrate the montage with photos of the real one so that we can see the quality of the reproduction !!

    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.

    Front Suspension sag.

    Hello all,

    Has anybody else found that the front suspension, if left unsupported, sags to the degree that the 'Damper-Rods' slide out of their housing and then get snagged, thus preventing the front suspension from compressing properly?

    (You then have to fiddle them back into their housing in order for the car to sit properly)

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

    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 !!! !

    Just got the following from Bpost (Belgium) as well:

    Your parcel has been sent from a country outside of the EU and is subject to customs tax. You will be asked to pay the tax of €41.26 before bpost can hand over your parcel. 

    I hope Agora will reimburse the extra cost associated with this build for their EU customers!

    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.

    That looks so much better than the plain kit parts! I hope tgo start soon, but doubt mine will look as good.

    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.

    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 ??????

    Sssssssssh. You can hear a pin drop in the Agora office. Not a word.

    I think it's just curtesy to be given any information on what is happening. Two days to go before the next payment for pack 7 and no sign of pack 6. 😬

    We are all investing alot of money.

    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 !!!!!
