Hyeong, i LOVE my decals, still so happy you did these, love the Japanese text, just looks killer!
Ok, Cobra is Ken Reith on Oople, super top bloke, and this body is his own sculpt, its softer in detail than the TBG, but just looks better due to being a more correct size!
Ill get it painted ASAP so you guys can see it!
Did paint a mean pearl white Masami a while back on one, but a Faskolor hiccup meant i tore it in half in frustration and binned it, ill never use that Faskolor crap again, its like childs play paint!

Lee

Mini, meant to say, Ken also does bodies for the Tomy too, you should drop him a line my friend!

Lee

What's the cost of the cobra shells lee?

Alex i just bought an upper shell for this, as i already had an undertray from the failed paint shell, but just the shell was £17.50 posted from Ken, which isnt bad at all IMO, guy sculpted it himself, which as a model maker myself, goes a long way in my book! Pretty sure it was £25 complete with a lexan wing. Still wish somebody would do a repro 91 shell though, come on you hoarders, pull ya finger out lol.

Even better a Protech body

Protech, is that boxy one Trevor? dont wanna offend, but i hate the boxy one lol, puzzled me why they did that tot he 870c for the US, the Japanese body was soooo gorgeous!

lee

Lee, you offend me and yes it was the boxy one

I ran it throughout from the 870C to the 93 WCS car and just loved it. I know what you mean about the Japanese body and after 25 years I'm slowly taking to it. Was never a popular shell at the time and Masami was probably the only person that really stuck with it, his paint always looked good on it though.

Ohhhh you mean the boxy one, yeah i love that one (digging a hole) LOL. Never took to it buddy, always loved the swooshy one TBH, horses for courses buddy

I have two, but unless mrlexan was making the thing.( Not going to happen)


And TBG is not getting the chance to destroy another good body for absolute "CRAP" in return.

Ohhh only two eh Aaron lol, ONLY two, he says No i hear you mate, TBG shells blow hard, shrinkage is complete bollocks, i couldn't get and undertray to fit nicely, never mind the upper shell, shame really.

lee

Kinda threw the paint on in the end (neatly mind lol), wanted to be a bit more elaborate, but ive got the patience to paint intricate RC shells these days lol.

lee

Nice clean build, you should be proud of it. Just need to get them wheels turning now!
