my second build VW mk2 Golf

since i enjoyed building it, i started a new one to make it a lil different. this one will be more like oem with only a dropped suspension and sitting on bbs rs wheels

some guys here told me that my builds was good and detailed but i was missing some finishing touch on the body to make it look real.

so the one you are about to see is my first attemp at polishing the body.

i made it in 3 steps, all with meguiar's automotive products

1- compound
2- glaze
3- yellow wax

i think it came out awsome since i can't see any defaults in the paint now and shines like a mirror.

the color is what was the closest to the oem vw montana green

here are the pics of the first part of my wip

this is the kit

I like it so far.
what color/paint is that?

it's from duplicolor, bright teal from gm, code number dsgm4738

Realy nice color and great shine.
Though IMO its a bit of a waste of this version of the golf 2 since its a harder to find version of the car out of the fujimi series.
These go for quite a bit more then the other fujimi golf 2 kits as far as I know.

Can't presure the fun though, keep it up! :D
