If you missed out on the earlier release of Kyosho’s 1:18 Shelby Cobra 427S/C there will be a new opportunity in the near future to add one. A new series of colour combinations are in the works, the first features Blue with Red stripes. The Shelby Cobra 427S/C is manufactured in diecast metal with opening bits. Though the model isn’t perfect it is a very good representation of one of the most iconic cars of all time. And no serious collector should be without one! Price point is very good too, it will set you back $135US or less. Store date late 2016, early 2017.
PS – We have three models of the new Shelby Cobra 427S/C in queue for review. Look for a full feature in the near future.

I’m hoping for the re-release of the ‘racing screen’ #98 works car. The Shelby team only raced the 427 on a couple of occasions (Ken Miles), and that’s the one I am after.
I ordered my Kyosho 1:18 Shelby Cobra 427S/C (red stripes) from Toronto Motorsports. I had read and understood the comments from DS in the review for both the Shelby Cobra yellow & red stripes, before I ordered my model. I knew what to expect and kept my expectation low so not to be disappointed. I received the model this week and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase. Overall I am extremely satisfied with the model and would recommend it to anyone interested in buying the car. BTW – the price, service and on-time delivery from Toronto Motorsports was stellar, as usual.
