Renault Megane Coupe Completed

Finally. Delays after delays. Errors after errors, this car is finally completed. Nothing much has been altered, other than the rims. The rest are stock. I removed the logo because it was badly sandpapered in the first place. The exhaust are made from the tube of a ball pen. Thanks to druid_99 and the others for helping out. Thanks to dad who helped with the exhaust. Love ya !

Re: Renault Megane Coupe Completed

Nice job, a couple things can be improved though. Not too late to giving it a wash (Panel Lines). There is a tutorial in this forum on how to do it. Also sand down the model before priming and painting as you left the mold lines on the front and rear bumpers. Lower it a little and it would really look great. Also sweet job on the taillights. If you ever need help always ask, someone will try help you on these forums. Also check out the tutorials, and FAQs as they can help everyone in one way or another. Keep em comin!

As Clarkson would say - "all French small cars are cool". And yours certainly is! I have one of these in the stash - what is the quality like? If I remember it looks typical of early Fujimi.
Cheers, Grant.

Re: Renault Megane Coupe Completed

Ahh..quality. This is when things start to go awry. The window panels for the last two panel are seperate pieces, so that was why there was cement all over the place. Why couldn't have FJM moulded it together? Other than that, the chassis is ttally bare. Not even a hint of an engine. The interior is so-so. What can you expect from a car that costs roughtly ₤6.50 or $USD12.50. But it was fun building this.

It is good to see a kit like this here as I can't really remember seeing a Megane kit built. Thanks for showing it for us.

Use white glue to attach windows and use them VERY sparingly, that way it will minimize glue squishing out and even if it does squish out, white glue dries clear so it's less visible.
