1970 Ford Torino Cobra Jet 429 1/25 Scale Model Kit Build How To Assemble Paint Decal Interior Engine 14534 4534 rmx4534 85-4534 854534
There is a certain breed of performance car that is made to do one thing…go fast. With its sleek SportsRoof shape, the 1970 Ford Torino Cobra is one of those machines that looks like it’s “moving out” even when it’s standing still. This no-frills Cobra packs a mighty punch in the form of a 370-horse 429 Cobra Jet Ram-Air V-8 that delivers top-shelf performance on the street or at the drag strip.
Features
Big-block 429 Cobra Jet V-8 engine
High-back front bucket seats
Shaker hood scoop
Optional rear-window louvers
All-new expanded decal sheet with factory-stock markings and Twister Special stripe option
Molded in white, transparent red and clear with chrome plated parts and soft black tires.
The Ford Torino is an automobile that was produced by Ford for the North American market between 1968 and 1976. It was a competitor in the intermediate market segment and essentially a twin to the Mercury Montego line.
Just as the Ford LTD had been the upscale version of the Ford Galaxie, the Torino was initially an upscale variation of the intermediate-sized Ford Fairlane. In the 1968 and 1969 model years, the intermediate Ford line consisted of lower-trim Fairlanes and its subseries, the upper-trim Torino models. In 1970, Torino became the primary name for Ford's intermediate, and the Fairlane was now a subseries of the Torino. In 1971, the Fairlane name was dropped altogether, and all Ford intermediates were called Torino.
Most Torinos were conventional cars, and generally the most popular models were the four-door sedans and two-door hardtops. However, Ford produced some high-performance "muscle car" versions of the Torino by fitting them with large powerful engines, such as the 428 cu in (7.0 L) and 429 cu in (7.0 L) "Cobra-Jet" engines. Ford also chose the Torino as the base for its NASCAR entrants, and it has a successful racing heritage.
1970 Ford Torino Cobra
Product number: 14534
Scale:1:25
Age:12+
Number of parts:128
Length:219 mm
Width:76 mm
Height:60 mm
The Torino Cobra remained the top performance model, but was a lower level of trim than the Torino GT. The Cobra was only available as a SportsRoof, and came standard with a 4-speed close ratio transmission, Hurst shifter, competition suspension, flat black hood and grille, 7-inch-wide wheels, F70-14 tires with raised white letters, twist style exposed hood latches and "Cobra" emblems.[15][14] New options included 15 in (380 mm) Magnum 500 wheels with F60-15 tires and flat black "Sport Slats" for the rear window (both also available on the Torino GT). Performance was strong even though the Torino was heavier for 1970. Motor Trend tested a 1970 Torino Cobra equipped with the Ram Air 370 hp (276 kW), 429 CJ, C-6 automatic and 3.50:1 rear axle, and it went from 0 - 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.0 seconds while taking 14.5 seconds at 100 mph (161 km/h) to go through the quarter-mile. Motor Trend wrote "The weight obviously helped traction, as it was fairly easy to accelerate away from a standing start with only a modicum of wheelspin." Motor Trend also tested a 1970 Cobra with a 429 SCJ, 4-speed and 3.91:1 gears, and resulted in a 5.8-second 0 - 60 mph (97 km/h) time, with a 13.99-second quarter-mile at 101.0 mph (162.5 km/h).[16] Super Stock and Drag Illustrated bested that time, in their test of a Torino Cobra equipped with the 375 hp (280 kW), 429 SCJ, C-6 automatic, and 3.91:1 rear gears. They were able to run the quarter-mile in 13.63 seconds at 105.95 mph (170.51 km/h), however, this was after the carburetor had been modified (improved power valve, larger primary and secondary jets). Super Stock and Drag Illustrated fitted a pair of slicks to the same Torino and ran a 13.39 seconds at 106.96 mph (172.14 km/h).

I'm building it now. Looks like the left quarter panel above the wheel opening deformed a little. Appears bad mold area like mine was. I had to file it flat and sand it smooth again. No puddy necessary. Love the box art .

Beautiful Torino Chris! Love the blue on blue! I am definitely ecstatic about this one coming out! I've got both Revell '76 Gran Torino's in my stash presently!

[@stevenjump8234]

Wish they would put out a 72 Gran Torino Sport. As a kid, I thought the Starsky & Hutch "Big Tomato" was the coolest, but as an adult did care for the more formal roof and big ass bumpers of the 74 - 76 Torinos.

REVELL came out with the nicest muscle cars, (Moebius now being a close second if not at par I say), AMT has a few good newer tooling ones but REVELL is really on it. Darts, Chargers, 5.0 LXs, Torinos, new tool Cudas, GTXs, Coronets, 442s, Talladegas, Thunderbolts, 68/69/71 Mustangs, all good and satisfying kits. Just hope they had gone 1/24….

[@badjuju81]

Fantastic kit! Great choice for the interior color. White was only available on the Torino GT (hidden headlights, honeycomb taillight that spans the rear fascia) , not the Cobra (fixed headlights, separate taillights), so lovely the box art wouldn't represent a factory combo (but a resto-mod, yes!). Love the hood decal, vs what they give in the Mustang Boss 302, for example, where you have to paint part of it ... can always see a seam between the two.

[@davidhinkson8856]

Some interesting features in this kit, like the separate side marker lights which I don't think I have ever seen before. My shortest lived model kit ever was the old AMT 1969 version of this car, which for whatever reason didn't go together smoothly at all. This one looks a lot more promising. This Grabber Blue color really suits it, and I actually saw one of the new Mustang Mach E EVs in that same color just a few days ago.

[@mattfulmer4243]

Awesome ride! I wish they would release a NASCAR version of it.

[@andrewmcgibbon9785]

There was a Nascar version of it back in the early 70s I think it was revell I remember building it when I was 8 or 9.

[@mattfulmer4243]

@@andrewmcgibbon9785 It must have had a very low production run. I have been able to score a couple of 73-74 NASCAR Torino's. A Jo-Han one and an MPC.

[@purpurahaze9179]

The last version of this was the 70 Torino GT 2n1 it has a roll cage, headers, and a pair of slicks. But I would say get a 69 Torino Cobra for the Nascar parts, it looks like should work without too much modification if any.

[@mattfulmer4243]

@@mattfulmer4243 AMT made the 69 Torino Cobra kit you can build it stock, street machine or as a Nascar that way you got another kit to build if it don't work. The last one I got was from 2003 but they have put out another one more recently just make sure it has the parts you want.

[@danielessad6638]

Really well done Chris! I picked car modeling back after a 50 year hiatus. I have learned so much from watching your build/review videos. You make this hobby truly fun and enjoyable. QUESTION - do you use the floor polish on the chrome as well? Also, what chrome parts do you usually use the matte clear spray on? Thanks for all your efforts on putting these videos together… well appreciated! I’m from the mid-west as well… born and raised in Michigan/Motor City (love muscle cars and have owned several over the years). I’ve been to Wisconsin many times on business… super state! Keep on building!!!

[@JimFlanagan4206]

Cool! I have an older version of this kit that came with some photo etch parts. I think it's green on the box art. I've thought about making it as an American version of the Mad Max Interceptor since they're really close in styling.

[@woodenticket]

They updated the decal sheet. I have the orange box version of this kit.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet but those twister decals go with them side stripes...😉👍

[@bernie472]

Looks great! I always add spark plug wires, and plug wire boots to all of my engines now. Just had a question though, when you use Rust oleum two times mixture of primer and paint mixed together, sometimes I’ve had issues with the paint looking like popcorn on somebody’s roof really ugly. How do you get around that? Do you just shake the can really vigorously for two minutes to prevent that from happening?

[@robertmungo5428]

Please! Your a ford man! I can see it! Very nice!
