WIP Audi A3

Sorry, I duno if we can post die casts in here or not? But i plan to just strip everythign and remake it to look like my car

I always wanted to build a A3 in 1/24 scale but no one sell A3 plastic kits. I found a company in germany that sell diecast kits that are made in HK. anyways I have gathered some parts ready to build this car.

heres a pic of the car with wheels off.

S3 seats instead of sline seats
BBS Co's
BBK kit
cf spoiler
repaint to black

Great to hear you finally got your desired A3 model. ;)
Your 1:1 looks very nice! Can´t wait to see the finished model!

Are you going to glue the doors shut as well and redo all panel lines?

BTW: As long as this thread is about building a model, i don´t care, if the basis is a Die-cast. From what i´ve seen here in the Die-cast forum, it´s more a section for collectors and not builders. Just my :2cents:

Nice job so far! Please keep posting your builds in this forum! I don't care if it is die-cast, lexan, or clay as long as it is a build-up of a model.

Looks really good, nice project.

Thanks guys.

Oh yea i like to thank DasWiesel for the links to the websites that sell these car. Thanks!1

Love the 1:1. Nice to see something out of the ordinary on here. This thread should stay here.

Hey where did you get those wheels from? Scale production?

Drool! :D:D Amazing start!

i got wheels from stradasports.com

they are hobby design wheels.

i was happy that someone actually made replica BBS CO wheels!

anyways i gonna finish my Silvia build first before i get started with stripping the paint off the die cast
