I love it. 

Did you see the Matra MFH is coming out with in April?


Thank yo Craig, I´ve seen the MS670, but had hoped for something else from France. If I would like to go that way, I would purchase the MS11 with the highly visible identical 12 cylinder engine, but somehow I don´t like the Matra blue. It looks toyish to me.
I´m still contemplating about the Brabham BT45, a very radical design with the flat 12 Alfa engine.

Cheers Rob

Absolutely gorgeous 😍 


Muchas gracias, Jack, Alan and Walter. The Cobra tested my patience and not everything went to plan, but about 90% were pure joy. The dreadful 10% accumulated towards the end and spoilt the experience a bit. All this is my fault, as I should have chosen a simpler MFH kit. The Cobra had it all, doors, hood, front lights under plexy, lots of vac parts, riveted on, ... , only missing wire spoked wheels. Lessons learned, my next MFH build will probably be a F1 car and definitely not my Ferrari 250 TRI from ´61.

Cheers Rob

Fantastic! It looks like a real car. The paintwork is really impressive, along with the rest.

Superb build, Rob. It looks the real deal.


Muchas gracias Ken and Dan and fimapa. The MFH kits do look very close to the real thing with all their enclosed detail. Pricey models, but worth it to my eye without the need of any aftermarket items. I actually had so much fun with the build, besides the woes at the end, that I already ordered another MFH kit, adding to my stash. It took almost six month to finish the Cobra, but I hope the next project will be a bit quicker and easier.

Cheers Rob
