Ford F100 (Cobra Racing Team) complete (#15 for 2021)

The just completed Cobra 289 came in a large package with the F100 and a trailer; here is the F100. 


 

A very nice kit, actually; I built the standard flathead motor complete with single barrel carb and crossover exhaust pipe, but the kit comes with a hemi option with lots of carbs and sidepipes.

I swapped the tires for bigger ones from the parts bin, and will find a better trailer hitch. Tools came from the kit and from a couple of photo-etched aftermarket bits by Highlight Model Studio.


Otherwise it is pretty well out of box. Unlike the decent level of detail in the rest of the kit, though, the trailer is pretty simple (no tail lights, no license plate, no ramps, etc.), so I will dig out the Aoshima kit of the Brian James trailer. Stay tuned!
