Re: VW Golf (GTI) 1-5 Generations
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!

Re: VW Golf (GTI) 1-5 Generations
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.
