Cobra Company gone?
Posted by skyraider0609 on Sunday, January 8, 2017 2:02 AM

Does anyone know anything about Cobra Company, a maker of aftermarket detail sets? The reason I ask is that they make an engine/propeller detail set for the Minicraft 1/144 KC-97 and their website has had a 404 message for about a week now. Are they out of business or just dealing with tech issues? Any thoughts on how I can obtain that detail set?

Thanks

Pete

A posting on Hyperscale indicates that Cobra Company is indeed shuttered.   By choice, by the owner.   He closed the website as well.

IIRC,  I seem to remember that there has been some long term product delivery problems.

As far as finding one of their products your option appears to be on the secondary market (eBay, hobby show vendor, etc).   Be prepared to  pay premium prices

Thanks for the info. I was afraid that was the case. I'll look on eBay and see what I can find.
