Thinking about buying a Kyosho 1/18 shelby cobra???
Thinking about the 427 upgrade blue white stripe version, any thoughts on the Kyosho.....better options?
Re: thinking about buying a Kyosho 1/18 shelby cobra???
I have the upgraded version & think it is fantastic. Cobra experts will say the shape is slightly off & the Shelby Collectibles version is more accurate. It may be true, but I never noticed anything off. I love how the Kyosho looks.
I was just about to snap some updated pics of this beauty...but these will do for now.

I bought one, I like it. It isn't perfect from any stretch of the imagination, motor execution is quite poor but the exterior is very good but again not perfect. Photos attached...
PS not sure if there is another option? Exoto maybe?

Exoto doesn't make the 427, though their 260/289s are awesome.[KRAFTIG] wrote:PS not sure if there is another option? Exoto maybe?
Kyosho, Shelby Collectibles, YatMing, Greenlight (using the YM mold, I believe), & Solido all make 427's (think that's all of them).

I also have the same one as Gavin and I love it. A very unusual model in my collection but I love it's aggressive shape and the noise I hear in my head whenever I look at it on my self.

I just have the 260 by Exoto. Apparently they're supposed to make a 1/14 scale of the 427 but that will be expensive.
