Revell VW Corrado

:D

:flash:

Hi,

for a great VW-fanatic as I am it's always a pleasure to see nice models.
Great job you've done. I like the porsche cup3 rims.
Show us more pics, please.

suiteR, just a thought, I think you should reply in the same thread under the same topic, instead of starting a new thread. just a suggestion, no offense. :)

wow nice one.. look great... temperature also look great :D

Thanks!
Too bad the REVELL kit is kinda difficult to build. Spent lots of time to modify.....

Hi Joecwlaw, thanks for your advice.
Sorry about the inconvenience caused. I am still getting used to the multi-features of this forum.

no worries. they just moved to a new server, hope the forums load faster. in the past , it always got busy......:D :D

That looks well done, I hope I can get my BMW Z8 to look half as good, also a Revell Kit

I really want one, but I won't pay the big $$ to get one. I hear Revell may reissue it, but who knows? Yours came out really nice, like the Boxster rims on it too. This is the best...perhaps only Corrado model I've actually seen built. They were very expensive 10 years ago when they were introduced, almost double the cost of a Tamiya kit.

suiteR, nice!!! can you post more pix please?!?
btb what company makes this kit? revell germany???

NICE! Don't see too many corrados in this forum, nevermind here in my state.

it's Revell (Germany). dunno why the kit is always expensive. I bought a Zender Corrado convertible 10 years ago from Canada. It's also expensive.

does your corrado have an engine too?

Very nice indead, i've never seen a model Corrado either

Hi,

I did the Zender Corrado two years ago, I found the kit in an old toyshop on the belgian coast and paid 10€ for it ( +/-10US$).
Unfortunately there is no engine in this kit but I'd like to put one.
Maybe if the new Fujimi Golf III Vr6 has one, I would use it and completely rebuild the kit. I'm not so proud of the result.
Here is mine:

Deedlit You've done a terrificjob on that! I would use different rims but the model is perfect!:)

Thanks,

when I built it, I didn't knew HLJ and the Pegasus Rims were all I could find at this moment.
I've ordered Andrew Racing Goltdish to put on it.

I think it will be better.

Some of the tuned VW´s in Germany have Porsche wheels, especially the old air-cooled beetles.

This kit is great, but very rare and expensive, it costs 50 € or more in Germany @ ebay.de.

@deedlit
I think the VW Golf III VR 6 made by Fujimi and Revell Germany are basically the same. The one from Revell has no complete engine, just a dummy.
