Audi 90 Quattro 20v **cleaned**

Hey,

This wil be my next project:

http://albums.modelbrouwers.nl/coppermine/albums/userpics/10027/doos_001%7E0.jpg

It's a Audi 90 Qauttro 20v from Fujimi.

A typical Fujimi kit with just a few parts.

The body got a few moldinglines

The idea is to make this one clean. German style tuning :)

I will clean the:
- doors
- frontbumper
- thrunk
- Audi logo on the back

If i can find some other mirrors wich are better than these I will use them.

For the wheels I choose de Wald Duchatelet:

I don't know why but the wheels are yellow :P VERY YELLOW :sunglasse So I have to paint them of course :)

It's hard to say how the wheels will look on the car but here's a example:

Just another puttywork and than I can prime the body to see if it needs more work.

I don't know what colour I will use for the body and the interior. Maybe bordeaux red with a light brown interior? It got to be a bit luxery.
The wheels will be painted chrome and the heart flat black with golden screws.

Sweet. I love those older audis. I cant wait for the finnished product.

Hi,

I like the trunk...but don't forget to move the license plate to the bumper: you can't drive a car w/o license plates in Germany :nono:

I'm gonna watch this. I might have to pick this kit up for my dad. He just go an A4, and has been looking for an Audi model to build.

Nice Idea!! Good Luck with the project!

Looks good!
Be sure to check the fit of the front wheels with the 'struts'. For some reason that comes to mind... I built one 15 years ago.

I primed the body to see if it's all smooth.

I needed a little bit putty again.

I also painted the wheels black. When it's dry I mask the heart of the wheels and paint the rims chrome.

The chassis was painted gloss black and than a mist coate of Metallic Violet. I really love the result.

that rims looks very nice in black better than the yellow :smile::smile::smile:

Nice car you got there.I really like the rear end cleaning.it looks so mean now.Keep up the good work!

Update!

I painted the engine cover and a bit of the engine with a little wash:

I also painted the grille. I think it looks mean with the black Audi logo. Or do I have to paint it?

http://albums.modelbrouwers.nl/coppermine/albums/userpics/10027/wheels_002.jpg

I primered the whole body but I thouht a little spoiler on the back would be nice.
http://albums.modelbrouwers.nl/coppermine/albums/userpics/10027/wheels_003.jpg

The back is really sexy I think.
http://albums.modelbrouwers.nl/coppermine/albums/userpics/10027/wheels_004.jpg

I also masked the hearts of the wheels but the black paint was coming with the maskingtape when I removed it. So I stripped of the paint and painted them chrome. I will paint the hearts after a long time drying. This chrome paint is really nice but it have to dry for a long time.

Dryfit time!

This are ''old'' pics because the body is already painted in black. This wil be the real colour. I have to let it dry and than I wil sand it and polish.

For the mirrors I thought it would be nice to use old chrome mirrors from an american car. Or I will scratch some F1 look mirrors.

Kris.

What paint(manufacture) and what color you use on rims?

Motip is the manufactor and chrome is the colour. It's a rattlecan btw.

Excellent work, Can't wait to see the finished car!

That is a really nice approach to an otherwise boring car. I like th shaved handles, looks really good!

I also painted a bit of the interior for the Audi.

Broken white and black are the maincolours.

also finished the chassis for 90%

The body was painted black. I have to polish this really good because I'm not really pleased with the result.

Love the rims......body has a blue tint to it, looks neat!

Huge update!

First I completed the interior!

The seats are closed on the back. They were just ''open'' on the back. I also made little metall pins for the seats. I think it looks great :)

I also flocked the interior with black flocks. The steeringwheel is from a Nissan (don't know which one)

Put it on the chassisL

I also finished the wheels. The spokes were painted black and I added the ''Wald'' decals on it.

Back to the body!

I ordered some polish sanding paper. I had a little orange peel in the paint so I polished the whole body with this paper. After that I polished it with Tamiya Polishing Compound and I waxed it with carwax.
The paint is very shining now. There are some places you can see just a bit of the orange peel and very little scratches but I'm quite happy with the result.

But there is always something going wrong. Also @ me :D The A-style on the left side broke after pushing so hard while I was waxing it :crying:

I don't know what you guys think when you have to paint the windowtrims but I am always afraid of this work.

So I thought a bit of BMF is easier to do. And I think it looks great with the black paint and the chrome/black wheels :)

The camera I use :D

And a dry-fitt with the wheels:

http://albums.modelbrouwers.nl/coppermine/albums/userpics/10027/body_chroom_011.jpg

Now I have to look @ the interior because there are some fitting problems with the body and interior. I think the dashboard is not good placed.
I also have to search for a side mirror because the stock ones looks like Mickey Mouse ears :grinyes: I think an oldschool chrome mirror looks great on it.

Tell me what you think!

Kris.

Very nice progress!

I'm going to have to dust off my pearl white one and shoot some pix.

:feedback:

You should definitely paint the black areas on the windows themselves.
