Corrado Zender as next project

This is my next project, I've already modified the hood with an air intake from a Savanna RX7 and the mirrors are the R33 models.

For the body color I think of a metal blue and the interior in grey, maybe...

OMG! where did u find that kit?????
Ive been looking for one for ages!

I've built this one over 10 years ago:

I know this is a very old kit from Revell, I've bought this kit 10€... but it's not a new kit some parts have been already build (all except the body). Everything must be dismounted and repainted but it's fun.

wow amazing job, it looks like the scoop was already there... professional

:eek: I like the hood scoop. I want that kit. Where did you find one!?

The hood scoop looks great.

Hi,
GOLFMAN speeking........
I love that VW CORRADO....
I have also the same in a box but started.... very bad... It would be a next project to remove and give a new life for this model....

I like the intake hood....very nice...
Have you decide the choice of the wheels?????
Thanks for updates........

Hi,

great job so far. I'd like to see it finished soon.
I did this kit too here (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=87694&highlight=improvement+of+my+corrado)

Keep up the good work.

Vw Lover (but who hadn't guessed it)

I have smoothed the front bumper and doors. This week-end I'll put a first coat on the body to see the possible imperfections and I'll send some pics. For the choose of color, I think about the "French Blue" by Tamiya.

Wow, that looks great! If you don´t use the wheels which come with the kit, I would buy them form you.

Great work on the hood scoop!! :eek: :D

finnaly a vw

Starting to look good, please keep us updated.

I dont understand... why would you redo that scoop? That looked amazing! With the primer it looked like it came that way !!!
Good job, hope the hood is just as good the next time.

I wanted just to show that there were certain imperfections on the hood... but I don't change the scoop. Tomorrow I'll put a second coat of primer on the body and I'll send the pic.

Can't wait to see this one done!

comming along very nicely

I cant wait for progress, it is coming along very nicely.

Now the car is ready to be painted!!! ( in light blue, dark blue or an other color, give me your opinion)

Looking great.
As for the colour wise, I would say go with dark blue.

Great progress.For colour I would say dark blue.

Italian Red

The end is near. Great job so far.
For the colour, I would say "Dark blue". Good choice on the rims, I like Ruff wheels. Porsche and VW are a great family, it's well known.

I don't normally post because I haven't completed any models lately
but I am a sucker for volkswagens. I figured I could offer some inspiration for your paint!

Yes, do it with 19" & carbon hood maybe. I'd like to see a Corrado like that.;)

What happened to this car...Are you still workin on it?

Hi,
nice transformation...on your CORRADO.....
Maybe an idea with these rims of 19''.... That could be a nice solution...

Laurent, the wheels are great if I found them I put them under the car.
