Golf MK V GTI & R32

[jelly_wilson]

Hello everyone...
Just started my MKV Golf GTI and R32

[deedlit]

You're the first one

I'll take inspiration from your thread as I also have these 2 kits, don't hesitate to mention where are the fitment problems, it will certainly help a lot of modelers

Thanks for the update

Which indent?

For the numberplate?

He's preturbed because the US versions of the Golf don't have an indent for a number plate. For a US version one will have to fill that area before building.

Sorry. Bob is correct. It's odd they would make them EDM and not general market, or at least flat so it can be from anywhere.

I wonder what their next release will be....maybe a Fahrenheit orange molded GTI? Or maybe a GTI cup car....

Yea...But I would've hoped Fujimi to make it for their own market. Still, I can't wait to get these! They look great.

Great job so far, I also started my GTI just wait for the upgrade parts (hopefully coming out soon!). Keep us posted!

Then it would've had the smooth front end but a LHD dash. Filling the hole for the plate was a lot easier than converting the dash would've been. Hooray for small favors.

More progress....

Nice !

[jelly_wilson]

99% Done... Only thinking how to paint the Red line on the front Grill
And started my R32 too...

That was awesomely quick. I can only see minor flaws (right side bodypanel and the rim seems to be littl fuzzy around the edges), but besides that...great work, that white look great.

wow, so the brake rotor actually moves? The only way that could get better it that the rotor has some kind of cross drill patern, so you can tell easier that they are moving.
