Hello my friends, The time has come for me to end this year, but not before I present you the last model that I managed to complete these days. It is about the well-known Golf GTi mk1 from Revell. The quality of this kit is excellent, according to Revell EU. Although metallic silver does not particularly delights me, I decided to preserve the historical truth and chose this color for the model. On the other hand, the wheels are not the original ones, which seemed awkward to me and made the ground clearance too high for the image I had in my mind for the GTi. I managed to adapt some wheels from another Revell kit, namely Chevrolet Impala '67 - the lowrider version. They seem much more suitable to me, they look a bit like BBS and give the model a smaller ground clearance. I tried to add more details to the engine compartment, but even though they are all there, not much can be distinguished I made spark plugs, acceleration cable and gearbox cable, battery cables, injection system pipes, windshield washer hose. The only detail I am not satisfied with are the headlight lenses that Revell made too thick and too convex, thus distorting the look of the headlights. In reality, the headlights have an almost flat glass. I hope you like it, at least as much as I enjoyed building it Happy new year ! 🎉

So I have now finished the Golf and I must admit I am pretty pleased how it turned out, its not perfect but after an 11 year break it was a great little model to get stuck into.
