Pack 03 |Build Instructions
In the 1960s, Carroll Shelby’s Cobras dominated racetracks worldwide, first winning races coast to coast
across North America, then in 1965, winning the World Manufacturer’s GT Championship, achieving the
ultimate goal of defeating Ferrari. The Semi-Competitions were modified from full competition models
just enough to make them street legal. Only 29 models were produced, making them one of the most
sought-after American sports cars by collectors.
Your 1:8 model replicates the original 1965 Semi-Competition Cobra in intricate detail. From the detail on
the dashboard dials to the writing on the wheels, every piece is precisely reproduced.
In your 03 model pack, you will start to assemble the chassis and the right front wheel :

EXPERT TIP
Note: When constructing the Cross-
members on the chassis, check you
have the part number printed on the
reverse of each component in the correct
orientation. i.e. upright.
EXPERT TIP
Adding a drop of oil or similar lubricant to
the screw holes in the chassis will make it
easier to fully tighten the screws.
