• I picked up a cheap buy at an IPMS club's annual kit auction last nightt. It's an unbuilt AMT 289 Cobra, the Reggie Jackson reissue, but I have a question-it's molded in bright medium green...isi it rare?
  • Don't know if I'd consider it "rare", but I remember building that kit back in the mid-1970s. Mine came molded in white. *NM*
  • That kit is from the Lesney ownership era. They issued it in a second box alongside (or shortly after) that one; it is green also. Lesney liked molding kits in color...
    • I have both light- and medium green Cobras from that release - straight repro of the white styrene modern classic *NM*
      • Except the stock wheels-the RJ issue has them modified to fit wider tires *NM*
    • Yep, I built the AMT/Matchbox version, # PK 4174 in a lovely bright green, so it got painted green, still use the box for storage & yeh those wheels stick out too far but c' la' vie......lol.j *NM*
  • FWIW, I remember you have to bring the wheels/tires in under the fenders. They stuck out too far. *NM* *PIC*
