Wow, you have got nearly as many on the go at one time as me! All look good, the 2 door conversions look like a challenge! Looking forward to more progress!

I have got the Fujimi Mk2 version and it is pretty good, is the Revell one the same or a completely different kit?

The only good thing in that kit is it has a motor, but everything else is horrible. Overall a nice kit, but a lot of fitment issues. Also the way certain parts go together makes me think a monkey did most of the thinking and work.

Id suggest only getting this kit for the motor and slap it into the fujimi. :mrgreen:

I will post some more progress very soon.

Really, the Revell Racing one (that you have the Scale Production Transkit for) has a motor? I have never known a Revell kit to have a motor. I know the Tamiya Group 2 Mk1 kit originally had a motor and would have expected the Imai Mk1 to have one too.

I have a few of the mk1 tamiya golfs and they don't have motor detail. They have a real motor (motorized kit).
The esci mk1 on the other hand does have motor detail.

Ill take some pics of the motor detail for you.

Ok, I now realise I was talking at complete cross purposes! When you said it had a motor I thought you meant it had an electric motor which I thought was strange, I didn't realise that when you said motor you actually meant the engine! I was being a bit of a dumbass! I forgot that across the pond you often refer to the engine as the 'motor'!

All perfectly clear now thanks!

Can you explain how do you do the front bumper?

Fabio Quirino · 02-25-2010, 10:13 PM

Golf maniac, sensational !!!!!!

agamo · 05-16-2010, 10:08 PM

Wow, I'm definitely subscribed to this one, I love GTIs and a project like this is something that I also want to do sometime, I already have the cars, I just need the time to build them, great job on the A3 transformation, I want to see the A4 transformation done too, did you checked the A5? Early versions have 2 door body with 4 door interior, LOL, Fujimi latter corrected this, but I'm not sure if it was for all versions.

Keep the good work!!

Very nice work for a beginning, 337 front lip looks just perfect.

I'm not too much turned on by Golfs usually, but I must admit most of your reference models looks damn sexy. Will follow with interest.

This will be a pretty intense wip. Keep up the good work and hang in there with all the work ahead of you. Looking forward to more.

GroupB · 07-24-2010, 06:13 PM

Keep up the good work, cant wait to see the Mk1 & Mk3 in particular.
