Some more pictures of the almost finished engine and modified transmission.

Within seven days, the payment for pack 7 goes off my account and still no tracking for pack 6. In my humble opinion, Agora is more or less turn squarely. Agora made promises, but to keep them keep that is a different story. I am starting to feel bad about it.

I live in Belgium, and still no sign of any tracking. After contact with Agora last monday, they will ship within 7 days, always promises they don't keep.

It's all the fault of the crazy Brexit politics. The UK no longer wants to be a member of the European community, but who with a little common sense will buy from an English shop or business in the future ???? The fact that you always have to wait a long time for the goods to arrive, and then have to pay extra taxes, that makes the model to expensive. I ask myself, is the total price of the model still worth it, and then you can be a Cobra fan !!!!! I fear that many will drop out, for the following models.

Some pictures of my almost finished rolling chassis.

Some more pictures of the engine. Almost ready for some paint.

Pack 6 looking fine, but when we gone received it, that's another question. And hopefully without any extra cost's !!!!! I read here on the forum that some customers in Germany must pay income taxes, not a good sign !!!!!!

Lucky you, enjoy your build !!!!!

Yes, yes, yes i have just received the tracking for pack 5. And now 2 or 3 weeks patience and praying that the Belgian custom rapidly release the pack without extra cost's. But most important it's on his way !!!!!!

The engine takes slowly shape, to me opinion the people who developed the kit never see a Ford 427 V8 in real life. The engine is a fantasy, the cylinder head covers are not on a equal line like on the engine of the Cobra, picture 1 and 2. But like on pictures 3 and 4, and takes me a rather sleepless night with the question how to fix this. I remove also the ribs on the sides of the engine. and build up new detail on the sides. I have two possibilities first to make a whole new engine bloc from scratch, or to make changes on the kit's one. Because i am a bit lazy i choose for the second. And o.k. it's is maybe not like the real thing and you don't see much of it but for my own peace of mind. I hope you like it. Rudy

In that case you're right, but it is publicity for Agora. The most important thing for them is to get your and ours money. Wayne and others comes on YouTube and a lot of people see the movies, and maybe they buy the stuff !!!!

Like i told, no hard feelings Joep !!!!!!!

What do you mean with "don't pay" ???? Why do you think you have priority over a regular subscriber ???? The normal subscribers pay more, absolutely if you live in Belgium, France or elsewhere in Europe we pay for post and packing and maybe if we have bad luck income taxes. We are all in the same case, paying and receiving no parts !!!!! So don't try to discriminate other's !!!!! That is my opinion, no hard feelings !!!!!!

Almost another week gone, and still no sign of a tracking number for pack 5. I don't understand why some people have received pack 5 and other not. But next week Agora take my money for pack 6 from my Paypal account and no sign of n°5, very frustrating !!!!!!!!! One very grumpy old man !!!!! Rudy

What we need now, is the tracking number !!!!!! And then the same story, the custom's for two or three weeks !!!!!! But no sadness at the end we gone have a nice Cobra !!!!!

That sounds good, enjoy your build !!!!!

Good communication keeps everybody satisfy. not vague promises !!!!!

It's Saturday and still no sign of any tracking for pack 5. It's started very significant, but it stays that way, promises and more promises. If there are some delays, ok that can happen, but keep the customers informed, it's the costumer who pays the bill's. so don't ignored them. my believe in Agora go's to minus zero !!!!!

Looking good and straight forward, but still no sign of any kind of tracking number, if i may believe Sam, pack 5 go out this week.

It's very pity, that you want to make a model of a Shelby Cobra 427 SC you must add and make a whole bunch of parts of scratch. The sidewalls of the engine are pure fantasy, and like Pierre mention before, no starting motor and more missing details. The model came from Eligor i believe, the same as the Cobra GT500 and the other Cobra from Agora, and is definitely not the same level of detail as Kyosho and Ixo but it is a good base to make a nice model, but with plenty work. When you screw the model together and add no extra detail, it's a big Burago nothing more than a big toy with lights and other electronic stuff that makes it playable (my opinion). I know that i start with this model, that i love (i'am a Cobra fan) that it takes much time to build it. And it takes also a lot of documentation, books and pictures of the real car, i post a link somewhere on this forum with usable detail pictures. If you look at the pictures than you see how simple or model is.

https://fantasyjunction.com/sold/search?q=shelby+cobra+427 Hello everybody, if you're looking for detail pictures to build a more detailed model of the Cobra. You find lots of detail pics on this site, also for other cars. I hope you enjoy it.

Pack 4 arrived with no extra taxes to pay !!!!

Yes, yes i'am very lucky pack 4 arrived this morning and with no extra taxes to pay !!!!!!

The customs release my pack 4 and is now be prepared by bpost to make the delivery. I hope for next week, and waiting now for the tracking of pack 5.

Hi Pierre, You're right, but promises and reality are two things of a different kind. Like i said it's a good base to start, the main thing is that they make this kind of models so that everybody can put them together, and are very simplified. But if you have the skills you can made a beauty of it. It's a pity that promises and reality are not the same thing.
