Looks like a sweet kit. whered you pic this up from?

Nice kit, hope to see it completed soon.
I've been looking for this kit but my local hobby stores don't have it.

is there a progress thread on the mk4 golf in your sig?

fantastic car, a friend has fisished the same model yet, is a wonderfull car, lucky with it! :licker:

Cant wait to see this one completed. Good choice.

I got it from image anime for 30.00 w/ shipping included...i payed for ground shipping but they sent it next day air (i'm not compaining :D )
I'm not really doin much to the car. It will be painted in cream white with the little gold pearl in it...the interior will be semi-gloss beige (leather).

for 30.00 they better send that thing next day air:rolleyes:

This kit is awesome i got one last month and have been slowly building it up. i was surprised about the 4way suspension so you can drop, raise and do the camber to match. i painted the interior of mine nutmeg with a high gloss black body paint job. i plan to add a ps2 style system in the truck with some game graphics for the tv and a little something special planned for the windows. i would build another one of these kits anyday :)

HAHA...I need to wait for my dad to mix the paint (dont worry i will paint this one myself)...Anyway here is some progress on the AWESOME suspension. you can adjust camber and rideheight even when the model is together!

DAMNN!!! Ok, this is going to be next kit...fo sure!!! What brand is it?

Aoshima

The brand of the kit its: Aoshima

loads of camber in the wheels, ! I like it! also like the boom box! great detail and work, only a bit too bad the pics aren't that sharp and maybe a bit blurry .

But I m pretty sure you're doing and ace job on it !
Keep it up

olivier

Sorry there are no body pix cuz it is out gettin primed and ready for the next installment of "ULTRA SHINY AUTO PAINT!!!":D :D :D

It's really ncie, I suggest painting the inside of the mufflers flatblack. :) (I know you will;) )

EDIT: This guy builds 5 models in the same time it takes me to build half of one! :p

I know it's part of the VIP look and a kit flaw, not your build, but is there something you could do about the camber?

Otherwise, this thing is great. I love the style of it.

When a car has aitbag suspension it always has camber...how do u think those big wheels would fit under the fenders...go look for pix of ANY car with airbags or even hydraulics (with big wheels)

damn i want one of those .i only have a "normal" aoshima kit with small rims and no airride:( :D

That looks like it wil be a fun build!

NEW PROGRESS! just painted like 2 hours ago...I went with a white base coat with this pearliscent color that makes it a creamy color that shows as lite blu at certain angles...i have to touch up a couple spots but it turned out good for my first time using an automotive spray gun

Looking great. Nice shine on it too.

Dude that car is sick! I love the camber angles. They look plain great! Can't wait to see it finished.
