Graupner Cobra NIB

Post by drbelleville »

I used to have one of these in - I want to say 1988 ? Give or take a few years, and regret selling it years later for some FG Tires to run on my Marder. Now after searching for a long time, I have all the pieces once more to build it up as I had mine. I will post more of it here later as I get going. The kit included an old flyer from Graupner in which there is an Yokomo and some Kyosho Buggies, which I will scan and post in the scans section. The Hydrospeed drive blister pack has come apart, but otherwise its all there.

The styling of that boat reminds me of one called the Super Hawaii. :)

Yeah I can see that, The SH is quite a bit larger too. I had always dreamt of owning a Maus Boat, but sadly they are no more.

I guess its the wing that did it. The only comparable boat I've had to this one was a Kyosho Jetstream 800.

They systems is awesome, I could not afford one at the time, so I settled for a Graupner Key West. The jet drive from the Graupner Jet drive was pretty neat many guys at the time retrofitted them to other Deep-Vs.
