leighivansmith Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi folks, This was a build I did for my mother-in-law who always wanted a purple VW but never had the chance to own one... The kit was ok but I found the quality of some of the mouldings very poor. There was lots of repair work done to one of the doors (no pictures as I was not totally happy with it) and the fit of some of the key pieces was off but overall, a very fun project. First time trying to paint Gloss finish on a kit as well - Enjoy. And just a few pictures of the build: one of the many many coats of Purple used to build colour depth.

Silver Fox Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Lovely job, the gloss looks just right. The model brings back some memories thought the purple one I learnt to drive in was a later model without the split rear window.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roymattblack Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 A really nice build of (in my eyes) just about the worst car ever invented! Love your colour and the contrasting innards. Great job. Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
