There are many 1/43 model kits of Cobras produced but here is one built back in the 70`s. This is the Mikansue AC Cobra Le Mans Coupe in white metal. I did,nt quite get the paint colour right but i like it. Feel free to add pictures of your 1/43 scale AC/Shelby Cobras.

The Mikansue model presents very well for its age.

You might be interested to know Spark have announced they will release the 1963 Le Mans Cobra's in 1:43. If they are up to Spark's usual quality they should be stunning. Expect these sometime in the next 6 months (a number of online stores are already accepting pre-orders for these models).

Thats good news Jager, i have two versions of the green one. Here is my Auto Replicas one, produced in the 1970`s. I picked this one up at Beaulieu Auto Jumble years ago.

[Hse289]

Here is the diecast version produced by Box. Bit dusty.

[Hse289]

This one is also produced by Auto Replicas and is a white metal model.

Here is a resin kit produced by Teneriv, i think from the early 1980`s. Made to look like the Scuderia Fillipinetti entered Daytona for the 1965 Le Mans race.

The Limited Edition Vanguard diecast version of the same car as above. This came out in 1999.

I also bought this model at Beaulieu autojumble and kept it the way i found it. Way out paint job, anyway its a John Day white metal Cobra produced back in the 70`s.

[Hse289]

This one is also a John Day white metal model kit which i built up. It is in the Ford of France colours from the 1965 Le Mans race.

This Cobra is one of my favourites, it was a limited Edition diecast one produced by Bang in 1997.

I like the first one,the super coupe it was called? The chrome Bang one I like as well. I only have 1 Cobra so far,and that is the Monogram plastic kit.Unbuilt so far of course,but it is supposed to be the best 1/43 Cobra model. Apart from Marsh Models that is?

Here's a couple of photos of the Monogram Cobra. I wish I had purchased a couple more.
